The headline in the newsstory on page 20: "17th suspect is Arrested In Sex Attacks In Central Park." Next to this story is one of opinion: "Mob's Sexual Rampage in Park Provokes Anguish on 2 Fronts." The 2 fronts are NOW and the Bronx borough president, Fernando Ferrer, who says: "It's shocking to me why everybody is so skittish...Haven't we all got our brains on straight?....Why aren't we calling it what it is? It's a crime. A hate crime." I am including the remarks here to point up what we are up against, societally, when we write, read, and do our literacy work. Andrea
