...Clark: "We're keeping a lid on it, but that's about all." There are 422 gangs reported in the county, and they "are putting communities over the barrel of a gun," says Tom Garrison, an aide in the youth gang agency of Los Angeles. This "is a war zone." The Mexican Mafia and Nuestra Familia, both hatched in prison, have long been a problem. But now Monterey Park, a once placid community east of the city, is torn by Chinese thugs. Orange County, home to tens of thousands of Indochinese immigrants, has a severe extortion problem. Hispanic gangs, some...

But there she is, sitting in her Manhattan office, comparing the race among the three network morning shows to a pitched battle worthy of the Iliad. "The competition is ferocious," McGrady says.

After nine pitches, without ever leaving the strike zone, the Mets' emergency ends and the Dodgers' begins. In the top of the ninth, Valenzuela also loads the bases with no outs. But they are emptied by singles that include Gooden's third of the game. The final score is 4-1. "That's the first time in my career that I ever saw a pitcher fire up the offense," muses Hernandez afterward. He refers to Gooden's pitching...
