The New York Times released a great investigatory piece on the correlation between summertime and murders in New York City. There is also a really interesting interactive map that maps all the homicides from 2003 - 2009. Central Brooklyn, Bed Stuy and Crown Heights looks to have the highest concentration of murders but the article states that per capita, the Bronx has the highest murder rates.
Fresh Air recently interviewed comedian Artie Lange in regards to his new book Too Fat To Fish. The interview was hilarious and insightful into Artie's depression as well as his memories of childhood with his dad.
