1) Errors: Journalism Department, Six Riverside Dr.
2) Errors: "break into," "rob" and "brand new"
3) Errors: chapter, 1920's, 1930's (note: they're plural years, not possessive)
4) See the AP Stylebook entry on disability; it'll tell you a few things to avoid. Also, replace "in spite of" -- see AP Stylebook for suggestions.
