ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  PHILIP HOLMAN Staff. Children play in one of the Hurt 
          Park "pits," which are used for hanging up laundry. When C.O.P.E. 
          began patrolling the area, they discovered the pits were also 
          favorite hiding places for drug dealers. At C.O.P.E.'s suggestion, 
          the housing authority tore down some of the brick enclosures.
