From a letter printed in the NYT, January 26 2005:

-----

In 1993, I worked with former state criminal justice officials to raise funds for a monument to the New York State Police. I met with many state police veterans, including some who had been involved in the suppresson of the Attica prison riot in 1971.

They gave me a vivid sense of what that event had been like.

For four days, the state troopers looked down into the yards where bare-chested inmates stood about, their torsos gleaming in the night's gloom from bonfires torched from prison bedding.
