Later, when two members of the city council announced that Gates had agreed to retire by the end of this year, the chief suggested he might keep...
...favor the Establishment, FAIR seeks to focus "public awareness on the narrow corporate ownership of the press, the media's persistent cold war assumptions and their insensitivity to women, labor, minorities and other public interest constituencies." Its eclectic board includes writer Studs Terkel, pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock, renowned thespians Daryl Hannah and Edward Asner, singer Jackson Browne and third-tier rock star Steve Van Zandt, the former guitarist with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band...
