I've suggested that wendell could have acknowledged -- candidly and constructively -- that fenton is now working for blackwell, In case Wendell doesn't know how to praise people and stroke a ruffled politician who is one of the two most powerful elected female politicians in Philadelphia government, it works something like this: As he should have responded to the UC Review - How he looks forward to John enjoying much success in association with his entry into municipal government. How lucky we are to have our friend and former colleague John, who possesses an extraordinary knowledge of our community, working with Councilwoman Blackwell. How astute Councilwoman Blackwell is to solidify an even broader base of support in the community, by bringing John in-house. Not only has she landed a great friend on her staff, but I believe it bodes well for the UCD community to receive an even more varied community beneficial package of services. Or, is that putting nice thoughts into someone's head along with nice words into their mouth? and that it would go a long way towards mending bridges between ucd, blackwell and the community as we move forward. it's understandable that this doesn't make sense to you ... The UCD leadership and its on list stalking horse, through a lack of attention to very important detail, should admit they most clumsily played a political card. Publicly, they for long can not remain indifferent to the utter mess they have created. Attentiveness is the path to true life; Indifference is the path to death. The attentive do not die; The indifferent are as if they are dead already. -Dhammapada For at least one of them their professional survival looks grim, without humble solicitous rapprochement. On a positive note the National Board of Realtors (NAR) is running an ad campaign on Bloomberg Radio extolling what great a time it is to buy a new home, with so much stock to chose from on the market. Guess that's not so good for forced sellers? Ciao, Craig ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
