11. Art Student Galvanizes Others To Shore Up 'Broken Windows' - Thursday, May 03, 2007

More and more police departments around the country, including the one in Memphis, have begun subscribing to the "broken windows" theory of law enforcement.

A single broken window, the theory goes, might encourage vandals to break more windows until the building and surrounding area are overrun by a variety of criminal acts. In law enforcement or any other instance, small problems thus are confronted before they have a chance to metastasize.

17. Big Bucks - Thursday, August 10, 2006

The number "one" is fitting for the name of the giant mixed-use development Gene Carlisle is creating Downtown, as both a locator and a clue to the project's scope.

The "one" also is a clue to the scale of the skyline-changing project, which is unprecedented for Memphis.
