...ANGELES: Willie Williams' high-profile tenure as head of the Los Angeles Police Department will probably come to an end this s ummer after the police commission declined Monday to renew his contract for a second five-year term.

The Dakotas, frozen thick for weeks, sent an ice wind east for the occasion, but it thawed a bit by Monday. The government bundled up before the fluted columns like an ice sculpture at a wedding--an impressive, preposterous construction molded to take one's mind off the reality that...
