CHICAGO — One balmy August evening, police said, 11-year-old Robert Sandifer gunned down a teen-ager. Days later, his own gang executed him for the heat the shooting generated.
Study looks for cause of crime
Chicago neighborhoods focus of eight-year project
The Associated Press
Across the city, 16-year-old Corey Palmer -- model student, athlete and hospital volunteer
eagerly prepared for another straight-A year. Two poor neighborhoods, two radically different lives.
A $4 million, eight-year study of 11,000 young people living in low-, middle- and upper-income white, Black and Hispanic neighborhoods in Chicago aims for an answer.
Why?
"We're looking not only at how individuals shape their environments, but how their changing social and physical environments shape them," said project director Felton J. Earls, a child psychiatrist and professor of human behavior and development at Harvard University's School of Public Health
It's no ivory tower question, according to Robert Sampson, a sociology professor at the University of Chicago and one of the designers of the study.
"Prevention is the strategy we should be using when it comes to crime," Sampson said. "Current policy is after the fact. More police, more prisons. If we can pinpoint the causes of crime and anti-social behavior we can act to prevent it."
The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, which began in September, scrutinizes the lives and surroundings of its randomly chosen subjects, who range in age from newborn to 24. Half are male, half female.
Once a year, interviewers will visit the subjects, or their caregivers, to query them on their beliefs, conflicts, influences, peer pressures, role models, health and relatives.
The 52 interviewers also will examine housing in each of the 80 neighborhoods, along with streets, parks and recreational facilities, the condition of schools and such signals as the presence of crack houses or uncollected garbage and if children play in the streets.
Apple, IBM announce plans to build computers together
NEW YORK — For more than a decade, the first thing people considered when they bought a personal computer was whether it would be an Apple or IBM-compatible.
That is coming to an end.
Apple Computer Inc. and IBM are to announce today a common way to build PCs.
"This is one of those pivotal points, an axiomatic shift, in the industry," said Richard Zwetchenbaum, PC analyst at International Data Corp. in Framingham, Mass.
The Associated Press
Far from uniting the industry, the two biggest manufacturers are creating a new rival to the standard IBM-compatible run by an Intel Corp. microprocessor and Microsoft Corp. software.
The computers IBM and Apple will sell together will be run by the PowerPC microprocessor that they developed with Motorola Inc. The microprocessors will be on the market by 1996 or 1997.
As computer chips go down in price, functions that were common only on PCs a few years ago can be put into other devices like phones and pagers.

Reagan has Alzheimer's
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Worshipers at former President Ronald Reagan's church bowed their heads yesterday to pray for a healing hand to fight his Alzheimer's disease, while messages wishing him well poured in from around the country.
we are concerned and shocked to hear of his illness," the Rev. Paul Pierson said in leading parishioners at Bel Air Presbyterian Church.
One day after Reagan's disclosure that he had been diagnosed with the incurable brain disease, the pastor praised him for making his condition public.
Reagan's handwritten letter disclosing the disease was accompanied by a statement from five doctors. They said that Reagan's health was good now, but expected to deteriorate as the years go on.

Silva, competing in only his third marathon, posted a time of 2 hours, 11 minutes, 21 seconds. Paredes was just two seconds behind, making it the closest finish in the marathon's 25 years.
Tegla Lorouge of Kenya, running her first marathon, finished first among the women in an unofficial time of 2:27:37.
"What I wanted to do was just to catch him," Silva said of countryman Beniamin Paredes.
Silva and Paredes had been running side-by-side in front of the field for about three miles when Silva took a turn into Central Park one block too soon.
NEW YORK — Mexico's German Silva took a wrong turn less than a mile from the finish line, backtracked and still had time to pass another runner and win yesterday's New York City Marathon.
