News We Can Use

This is a heartbreakingly encouraging book. Those are odd adjectives to place next to each other, but in this case that's where they belong: This anthology, based upon the much-missed television program of the same name, unflinchingly documents the problems blighting our urban landscapes -- crime, drug abuse, alcoholism, prostitution (and their interrelationships) -- and then introduces us to the "little people" who are making a difference in big ways, day by day and one step at a time. These are the people America needs to know about now more than ever, and their lives and efforts can serve as blueprints on the path to restoration of "social sanity" for all of us. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who cares, and would like to care more!
