Those same fractures undermined Evans' slender hopes in last week's general election. Mimicking white Democrats' attempts to override the 1983 primary by mounting an independent challenge to Washington, Evans ran under the banner of the Harold Washington Party. Jackson refused to endorse Daley, who had not actively supported Washington's earlier bids. Instead, Jackson backed Evans -- thereby opening himself to charges of putting race ahead of party loyalty. But turnout in black wards went down. To win, Evans needed at least 15% of the white vote; he got 7%. Daley attracted 8% of black voters, but his richly financed...

Evans, after toying with the idea of seeking the nomination in the Democratic primary, chose instead to wage an independent campaign under the banner of the "Harold Washington Party." Thus, having defeated one black opponent in the primary, Richie Daley will have to overcome another in the general election on April 4 to reclaim his father's office. If he does, Chicago would become the third major city (after Cleveland and Charlotte, N.C.) in which the mayor's office, once won by a black, has reverted...
...Saints snagged the post-season tournament last year and the ECAC championship banner still hangs in their arena. This weekend that banner is on the auction block--and Harvard is heading into Boston Garden as the league's highest bidder...
