American Notes
DETROIT
Derailed by Success
</hdr>
<body>
<p> Perhaps because victories come so rarely, they seem to
unhinge the residents of Detroit. When the Tigers won the World
Series in 1984, more than 100,000 fans ran deliriously into the
streets, burning cars and looting shops. Each Halloween
provides another excuse for Detroiters to vent high spirits,
leaving extensive property damage in their wake. Last week,
after the Pistons won a second straight professional-basketball
championship, success once again proved more than Detroit could
safely handle. In a long night of celebrations punctuated by
gunfire, eight people were killed.
