Murder made for prime time
Wednesday, February 9th, 2005Last week I posted a note about the disproportionate news coverage generated by a murder in the Lower East Side.

Things that make you go hmm
Tuesday, February 1st, 2005A pretty, 20-something aspiring actress was shot and killed by a thuggish posse of muggers last week in our neighborhood.

Even Democratic strategists [...]

It tells of an experience I had in 2003 at a conference sponsored by one of America’s foremost evangelical ministries. Sadly, I endured many similar experiences in 2004. Please consider reading the piece in [...]
