Charles, there were *two* incidents involving MOVE. Rizzo was mayor during the
first one, in 1978, when there was an "OK Corral"-type shootout at MOVE's
compound near the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. W. Wilson
Goode, the city's first (and so far only) black mayor, presided over the
bombing, in 1983; that took out the group's *new* headquarters, along with the
rest of the block. MOVE, BTW, is still very much alive and kicking; whether
this is a good thing deponent sayeth not.
