Juvenile delinquents have been with us for a long time. Horatio Alger romanticized them in books like Ragged Dick, written nearly one hundred years ago. And Henry James, looking at Boston in 1904, complained of "School-bullies who hustle and pummel some studious little boy."

...usually studious Church surprised many with his affable, winning campaign style that defeated Carter handily in the West. He is a longtime member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and his knowledge of world affairs meets a large Carter need.
