exactly what he was talking about and
that he had the facts 70 back up his
statements. And yet he was at this
time almost the laughingstock OF the
city that had swept him into Office at
the last election by an unprecedented
majority. The newspapers. while they
did not actually attack him, made fun
OF him. His own friends looked at him
askance. Even his own son, Bruce
