I think Atlanta is doing better by honoring Maynard Jackson's memory, even if some of his friends got on a small time gravy train. He did a lot more for the country than Tweed and hundreds of other old time pols. .Gerry http://www.pbase.com/gfoley9999/ http://foley.ultinet.net/~gerry/aerial/aerial.html http://home.columbus.rr.com/gfoley http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/pollock/263/egypt/egypt.html
