In this edition of Perspective...

Strawberry Mansion High School
We traveled to Philadelphia to go inside one of America's most dangerous schools.  The city gave Strawberry Mansion High School just six months to prove it should stay open.  The school can be a challenging atmosphere for students, where learning often takes a back seat to simply just making it through the day.  Here's ABC's Diane Sawyer.

Plural Marriage
We've taken you inside polygamist communities before on this program, most notably Warren Jeff's Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints.  In that case, Jeffs is the one to decide whom and when women would marry.  Now we go inside a community where the women are the ones who choose.  Here's ABC's Cecilia Vega.

Paris Jackson
Earlier this week, Michael Jackson's only daughter was rushed to the hospital after an apparent suicide attempt.  When her father was alive, Paris Jackson lived in a protective bubble, but since his death she has dealt with grief, bullying at school and turmoil at home.  Here's ABC's David Wright.

Rumsfeld's Rules
Donald Rumsfeld made a habit of collecting words to live by over the course of his long career.  His collection began as a stack of index cards, which then transformed into a White House document that President Ford dubbed "Rumsfeld's Rules."  Now the former Secretary of Defense has turned those rules into a book of the same name.  ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl sat down with Rumsfeld to discuss the book, which also sheds new light on the early days of the Bush administration's "War on Terror."

The Tony Awards
It's Broadway's big night.  The Tony Awards are being held this weekend at Radio City Music Hall in New York.  ABC News Entertainment Correspondent
Bill Diehl has more on some of the leading contenders.
