In the last twenty years the annual crescendo of numbers has been amazing; over ten thousand at the beginning of the period, over fifty-two thousand at the end.

And in the entire history of this city there's been exactly one legal execution. That was in 1852." Broderick shook his head. "What are you going to do with that stuff?" asked Broderick.
