...larcenies that make up an important part of its crime index. Obviously, the shrinking value of the dollar changes the meaning of those figures; partly as a result, larceny has been the fastest-growing category on the crime index recently. Another example: for as long as anyone has kept track, youths from the mid-teens to early 20s have committed the largest number of offenses in all categories. During the '60s, the post-World War II baby crop came of criminal age. The fact that there are proportionately more Negroes than whites in the age group...
...Block clubs" have been organized in some white areas adjoining Chicago's South Side ghetto. Suspicious of interlopers, the clubs keep track of autos passing through the streets.

It operated under the direction of Averill Harriman, but as the War progressed, it gradually withered into a front toward which Johnson could gesture when his desire for peace was questioned. The story of Harriman's group as told by Kraslow and Loory illustrates one rule of executive decision-making: when an executive organization is not nourished by presidential concern it wilts. Harriman had neither the President's ear nor a security clearance which would have permitted him to do his job. Harriman did not even know...
