Police
commanders are almost afraid to mention it. One said on Friday that he was too
superstitious to talk about the string of days without a killing in New York
City.
Asked about it a
few hours earlier by Charlie Rose on “CBS This Morning,”William J. Bratton, the police commissioner,
shushed the television host.
“We don’t want
to jinx it,” Mr. Bratton said, grinning.
In his next
breath, the commissioner sought to promote the “record” that detectives were
embarking on a 12th consecutive day without having to investigate a new
homicide.
