...schools back in 1947 - ten months in which the Board of Education scoured the whole country to find a superintendent from another city. This executive reluctance-something which has done the superintendent no harm at all in the years since O'Dwyer tumbled from public esteem-was understandable enough. So was O'Dwyer's final decision.

There is no chance that both of them will. That is the real seed and soil of the conflict...
...carefully transferred partially cured psychiatric patients at his hospital to the status of "member employees.'' (Sample jobs: landscape worker, painter, janitor.)
