The city was known, at various point through the century, as both “Chocolate City” and “America’s murder capital”. ![]() Now a professor at Yale Law School, Forman has Washington in his sights. “The words and deeds of … black law enforcement officials and politicians,” Forman writes, “so often overlooked in the histories of the war on drugs, are crucial to explaining why and how the war developed as it did in American cities.” For the most part, such leaders did so with the broad support of constituents seeking safety from the urban crises that colored the second half of the 20th century.

Pamela Gay: Relativity is one of those things that actually came out of the ether, and I’ve always wanted to be able to say that about something.īack in the 1800s, scientists thought the entire universe (or at least the universe as we knew it then) was permeated by this substance called ether, and light propagated through the ether the same way sound propagates through air.
