When I found out that my friend’s baby had been diagnosed with a malignant tumor, my first reaction was, “But it can’t be. I know her.” How could this happen to someone I knew? We were too young to be dealing with such things.

I went to visit her, but she was not home. I don’t know what I would have said. I don’t know if she knew I had dropped by. I did send a card or two to tell Chana Devorah that I was thinking of her. But I didn’t call. I was afraid. What could I possibly say? Since I didn’t call, she didn’t know.

The NYPD is instructing cops to log serial numbers from suspects' phones.

NEW YORK — The NYPD is amassing a database of cell phone users, instructing cops to log serial numbers from suspects' phones in hopes of connecting them to past or future crimes.

In the era of disposable, anonymous cell phones, the file could be a treasure-trove for detectives investigating drug rings and other criminal enterprises, police sources say.
