The New York Times has a great story about police officer John Nevandro, who has been patrolling the boardwalk at Coney Island in Brooklyn for 21 years. When he started walking the beachside beat, he had to chase off perverts looking to glance up women's skirts from below the boardwalk.

The existentialists said that when we confront death, we realize that our death is our own, that no one can die for us, and, as a result of the latter, that no one can live for us either- that we're free and responsible for our own lives.

John Fugelsang starts his one-man show, All the Wrong Reasons: A True Story of Neo-Nazis, Drug Smuggling, and Undying Love, by acknowledging that he isn’t performing a “proper piece of solo theatre. The stories here are not brave, the stakes are very low, my arc is flimsy at best, I’m not a heroic character; I don’t come out of the closet, go to Iraq or kick drugs; and the only time I mention Palestine is......

This leaves us amazed: A woman jogging in Prospect Park with her baby was attacked by a gang of youths, who robbed her of her iPod. Luckily, that's all they took and the mother seems fine (she was hit from behind), but what makes the crime crazy is that the youths seem to be 12 years old. Twelve years old! The Post reports that Laurie Maher-Samra was jogging near Nellie's Lawn on the East Drive......
