    Which Way, L.A.?

    Crime, Including Murder, Is Down in LA

    For the first time since 1970, there were fewer than 400 homicides last year in Los Angeles, even though the population is up by a million. It's hard to call that many killings good news, but the number is one third what it was in 1992. Also, late night talk shows are going back on the air but only one has a deal with the Writers' Guild.
