...Mayor Wagner. Willis is also an exceedingly able administrator who oversees 552,000 pupils, 22,000 teachers and a $300 million annual budget with brisk efficiency.

He has planned and overseen a $250 million building program, completed without a single major scandal...

...often than not, he stays home alone and goes to bed after an evening of television. His favorite show is Sing Along with Mitch, and Hilton explains: "I don't sing along, but I sometimes do a little dance."
