   I suspect that NYC is the winner in this appointment. I've seen comments from the left and the right attacking Bratton today.

   That bodes well for him.

   As for Ray Kelly……….thppppt.

   I only wish Bratton had become police superintendent in Chicago at some point. Now that would be an experiment worth watching.

   Two links I ran into the past few days that might amuse you.

   The first is a bit hagiographic, but since that word comes from the "Greek" it will continue with a theme.

   St Bratton parts the waters of crime:

   Thanks for both those links. They're great. Take home lesson? Obviously Bill Bratton is Greek.
