TASS reported that the US came in next to last and the USSR came in second.

So it goes with Mayor Botch's propaganda ministry.

According to your NPR source: "Overall, the city's murder rate has dropped dramatically in the FIRST THREE MONTHS of this year, to a level not seen since 1959." This information is correct, backed up by many media reports.

According to the sources below, February's 14 murders actually represented the lowest monthly total since January 1957, when there were 12.
