Nowhere is the urgency of the moment played up more than in New York, where the upcoming Senate race has already become a celebrity death match of sorts. Hillary Clinton and Rudolph Giuliani may as well announce their intentions to run for the Democratic and Republican senatorial nominations, respectively, because they have been in the race for quite a while already...
...next big thing in American education. Thousands of students in Cleveland and Milwaukee, Wis., are using tax dollars to attend private schools, and Florida is poised to adopt the nation's first statewide program.

Last Friday, Safir appointed a black officer to the No. 2 position in the street-crimes unit. (Black leaders dismiss the move as window dressing.) Both Safir and Giuliani have emphatically denied that the police are guilty of misconduct or racial bias. The Diallo controversy, Giuliani says, has been stirred up by political activists and the scandal-hungry press. In fact, he points out, fatal shootings by police are at their lowest level in 13 years. The police department is controversial, its supporters say, because it has been doing its job vigorously. And they note that it has been phenomenally...
