...those who compile riches from the misery of slums hear this message as their eviction notice: there will be no compromise with the profiteers of poverty. Let those who exploit human [narcotics] addiction hear me clearly: New York will no longer be your marketplace. We will combat terror in the streets. And we will do so with full respect for the rights and privileges of every citizen. The New York for which we are fighting is as old as the vision of brotherhood. It is a city in which there will be new light in tired eyes...

In primitive societies, children become full-fledged members of the tribe in one painful and often hazardous initiation, which compresses-and purges-the terror of entering adult life. In Europe until well into the 18th century, children were both indulged and ignored. Medieval artists even seemed ignorant of what a child looked like; they habitually painted them as small adults. A 12th century miniature illustrating Jesus' injunction to "suffer the little children to come unto me" shows Christ surrounded by eight undersized men. Before the 17th...
