...punished. From the muggers' and rapists' perspective, the uncertainty of imprisonment, indeed the likelihood of avoiding it, is actually an incentive to commit crime. Out of 550,000 reported crimes in New York City in 1983, police made 106,000 arrests, but only 13,500 suspects wound up behind bars. Observes Circuit Court Judge Lawrence Richter Jr. of Charleston, S.C.: "The Goetz incident is just symptomatic of what's going on everywhere. People are just sick and tired of being pushed around by punks...
INSTRUCTOR OF ENGLISH Allison W. Phinney didn't quite know what to do Neither did Loeb Associate Professor of the Humanities Susan R. Suleiman. Both were more than a bit surprised to see in excess of 60 students at the first meeting of their classes this term.

They are kindly but stern people who understand that threats to their way of life can come in benign forms. For his part, Book suppresses his city smarts and treads as carefully around his hosts' feelings...
...state and local governments to assume greater responsibility and power, a guiding tenet of the Administration's philosophy since its earliest days. The end of the 13-year-old program of revenue sharing would save $3.5 billion. According to Governors and state legislators, the death of revenue sharing would wound states and localities where they can least afford it, in basic outlays for such services as police, education and sanitation. Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, whose state is in a better position than most to weather such cuts, decries the proposal as "a cruel joke." Says New Orleans Mayor Ernest Morial...
