The famous African-American sociologist--at least he's famous in our circles--William Julius Wilson at the University of Chicago wrote a little book a few years ago called ``The Truly Disadvantaged.''

So I think, first, we ought to pass our crime bill here and put another 100,000 police on the street and do it right in community policing. But we also have to get work back into the lives of people.

That's one of the things that Colin Powell--retired as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff--he talked about maybe he could be a role model for people outside of the military who have none of the structure that's what makes the military go in this country.
