   Participating in the crack wars turned out to be, for the vast majority   
   of the gangstas, extremely bad life choices. It's hardly surprising that   
   the later cohort, born in the early 1980s, did a better job of figuring   
   this out.   
      
   So, the good news is that poor teens in the ghetto can eventually figure   
   out the difference between smart and stupid.   
      
   The bad news, as exemplified by Professor Sampson's op-ed, is that the   
   Harvard faculty and the New York Times can't.
