CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— ‘Chuy’ Garcia fires back with ‘Tinker Bell’ quip at Emanuel on hiring cops – Hal Dardick
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-rahm-emanuel-chuy-garcia-fairy-dust-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During last year’s mayoral campaign, Mayor Rahm Emanuel dismissed opponent Jesus “Chuy” Garcia’s campaign pledge to hire 1,000 new cops as “fairy dust.”  So as Emanuel vaguely talked about the possibility of hiring “hundreds” of new officers, Garcia had a chuckle at the mayor’s expense. “For a candidate who said my 1,000 new cop plan was fairy dust, look who’s acting like Tinker Bell now,” Garcia said. Only time will tell, however, whether Emanuel will swirl in a cloud of pixie dust of his own making. At a Friday news conference, the mayor did not make clear whether he plans to just keep up with attrition, again move more cops from desks to beats or increase the overall authorized level of police staffing.)

— Black studies struggle at state universities under current fiscal climate – Dawn Rhodes  (DIERSEN: In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, if you could do it over again, what would your undergraduate major have been?  Because I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, I would have majored in accounting.  As it was, I started taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul in 1976, started taking the Becker CPA Review in 1978, and passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old, way too old for a non-veteran White male to have a successful career working for a big CPA firm.)
