...come to campus intent on being active in the SAA. Nor did she plan to be a mover-and-shaker in the ethnic studies debate. Her first forays into extracurricular life were in the Mozart Society Orchestra, where she was a violist, and the ATA Taekwondo Club. Both were continuations of activities she pursued in high school...

"Willie Brown appeals to the very liberal element that dominates San Francisco politics," Jackson says. "He's using the same skills he used as a mover and shaker in the state assembly: many promises, many coalitions. The question is whether those skills will make him a good mayor, or whether San Francisco will end up with a lot of warring factions." Jackson says the city's already steep cost of living may grow worse under Brown, since...
