Dear Pitch: Thanks, as always, for keeping a "running count" of KCK and KCMO homicides. These are figures the KC-area elite is frantically trying to "sweep under the rug"--let's not lose any more conventions!! KCK trend lines don't look good: 25 homicides in all of 2007, 33 in all of 2008 and 37 so far in 2009--meanwhile, all over the nation, cities are recording record low homicide figures. In human terms, one can understand wanting to "wish away" these figures: If no one schedules conventions in Detroit it is not because of the Lions' poor performance in 2008!! Sincerely and Respectfully, Ernest Evans
