I'm buying into the idea that this city can work.

"We want the police, the city and community to work together."

Catch the brain, and we will know how a city works.

The city works according to a plan that is not known to me.

And the nation's largest city still works - much better than most.

Since then, the state and city have worked together to make the city's schools a model for school reform.

They are having a good time; the city is working for them.

The city, the mayor has said, is working on the problem in its own way.

"But this is exactly what the city has been working for since the mid-80's."

So good, in fact, that the city was already working on a similar plan.
