College professor Glenn Reynolds mentions the experience on his campus: I was talking to a couple of freshman advisors from UT, and they noted that our freshmen had crucial years of their educations and…
A while back, I saw a short article about an incident in which the Providence police saved a woman from suicide. Police went to the scene at 9:26 a.m. Some officers tried to calm her down and coax her off the ledge, Verdi said. But at one point the woman became despondent and a crisis negotiator thought…
