Last month she ran in the New York City marathon with the aid of the Achilles Club, an organisation that helps disabled runners to complete the course.Any lengthy discussion about Central Park always includes a conversation about "the jogger" and that usually leads to a debate about race, about black and white - the political fault line that still sends daily seismic shocks through this city. The middle-class people who depend on the park for recreation say they feel a lot safer now.The Central Park jogger still works at Salomon Brothers. "But it is rising again now in the poorer neighbourhoods."That pattern is repeated in Central Park. There have been 11 rapes there since April 1989, but all except one involved homeless women who were sleeping rough. "The crime rate is down in the wealthy areas," says Bill Tatum. "Since 1989 we have increased night-time police patrols and there has been a 60 per cent drop in crime." That has been repeated across New York, where crime rates are at historic lows, although others see racism here as well.
The 102nd Street traverse, scene of the attack, is the upper limit of "posh" New York, beyond that it's downhill to the home of hard grind. The timing of the attack, at night, immediately changed the city's priorities."We had to make the park safe 24 hours a day, it's so important to New York," says Elizabeth Lederer. She went to Wellesley College and then she did postgraduate work at Yale. Manhattan is full of high achievers like her, uneasily sacrificing a quieter life in smaller towns for a successful career under the bright lights.New York has always had great contrasts, wealth rubbing shoulders with poverty.
