...citizens began to turn against the Mayor. However, Stokes must shoulder a large amount of blame for his decline popularity. Unwise administrative appointments and scandals in several departments caused widespread resentment. Possibility the worst move of all was the appointment of a new Police Chief who was forced to resign nine days later when strong evidence revealed he was linked to the Detroit Mafia. Scandals in the Civil Service Commission and the Department of Weights and Measures contributed to a growing feeling among whites that Stokes was getting rich off the city. A gut feeling that someone is a crook...
Jenkins' critics demanded that he resign the deputy leadership. He dismissed that as "a somewhat mock heroic gesture," but he expected a rough time when he came up for re-election to the key post.

In all, five of Peking's delegates have held posts outside China (in Moscow, London, Cairo, New Delhi and Ghana). Some are veterans of the swings that Chou frequently made through the Third World. The only woman delegate, Wang...
...believe that it should find in large part for the professors--it is obvious that the Design School cannot return to its former stature if the sour taste of the past five years lingers in any form, from either side. For the good of the School, Kilbridge should resign immediately as dean and return, if he is willing, to his teaching post at the Business School. Isaacs and Vigier should eschew all administrative duties at the Design School and return to teaching and scholarship...
