Says Zoralee Steinberg, who heads Denver County's "diversion" (i.e., from the criminal justice system) program for young offenders: "The insight these kids have is amazing...

This is literally and figuratively Woody Allen's Manhattan: the movie's opening sequence, a montage of romantic cityscapes, was largely shot from the director's own terrace...
