Needle in a Haystack
A Million Stories
The Bell Curve
The president made a promise about syringe exchange.
The controversy around needle exchange is endlessly frustrating for
advocates, because the data is so uncontroversial. An abundance of
studies have shown that needle exchange programs prevent HIV and
Hepatitis C infection among needle drug users.
By the Sword
IcepackLittle Anthony's mother didn't like the 18-inch sabre he'd hung above his bed.
In the apartment upstairs, Edward Harty was lounging in his underwear watching the Discovery Channel. His 11-year-old son heard commotion. Edward went to his front door but didn't hear anything. The son heard more noises. Edward walked downstairs to Anthony's slightly open front door. "Oh no, please," he heard Anthony saying.
Amorosi on the news, nightlife, gossip and bitchiness beats.
I'm not a sentimentalist. I want the future now. I just want Philly to be careful and get harder where it counts.
