...police ought to ease archaic seniority and allow college graduates to start as management trainees. Equally important, police duties should be drastically reduced and refined. Certainly, police should not be responsible for carting drunks to jail-one-third of all arrests. A good case could be made for putting traffic control in the hands of some other body-and for repealing scores of antique laws that make it criminal to behave in ways that offended society in the past but are now irrelevant. "The white middle class uses criminal codes as garbage cans," says University of Michigan Law Professor Yale...

Under its provisions, the buildings on the site would be only slightly more massive than Holyoke Center, and would not, in the opinion of traffic experts, overburden the surrounding streets.

Similarly, when the gun buyer goes to an adjoining state to purchase a gun over the counter...
Died. Henry Barnes, 61, New York City traffic commissioner since 1962, who mounted a scrappy, unrelenting campaign to unclog the streets; after a heart attack in his office. "You can't be a nice guy and solve traffic," Barnes liked to say. He railed against privileged double-parkers and street repairmen, created miles of one-way avenues in Manhattan, and set up one of the largest electronically controlled signal systems...
