Throughout his distinguished career, Bob Herbert has helped shine a spotlight on the lives of Americans living in poverty -- a group that is too often ignored. That was certainly true of his May 21st column, in which he told the story of 20 poor children from the Bronx who are growing up in truly appalling conditions. It was heartbreaking to hear about the children Mr. Herbert met: The girl who told him, "I never feel safe." The child who said she felt there was no purpose to her existence. The stories they told about too many shootings, and too few jobs.
