...police, he is clearly a hero on his own turf. That became evident last week when Chicagoans, responding to worldwide criticism of Daley and his cops' tough tactics, reacted as if they had been under personal attack.

Controversy became inevitable as he allowed relations with the surrounding Harlem community to deteriorate and brashly involved the university in backing an unproven cigarette filter. He tended to shrug off all criticism of Columbia's ties with military research, failed to perceive the extent of faculty and student discontent early enough to deal with it, and finally called in the police to regain control...
