...York, schools chief Rudy Crew was ousted in December, following a tussle with Mayor Rudy Giuliani over Crew's resistance to an experimental voucher plan and his public reluctance to commit quickly to a renewal of his contract. Hired in 1995 to run a system facing its 10th chancellor in 12 years, Crew says now, "I knew no one survives in this job very long." In his last year, his relationship with the mayor and the school board deteriorated.

And hey, in New York, that's saying...
...York's police department has been under increased scrutiny in the past several years; high-profile cases of police brutality have brought unwelcome attention to Mayor Rudy Giuliani's zealous law-and-order practices. The rising tensions in New York between minorities and police officers spurred a judge to relocate the trial to Albany, which is overwhelmingly white, rather than continue the proceedings in the Bronx, where the shooting occurred. Taking the trial out of the city, says White, is an injustice for everyone involved. "Moving this case was a slap in the face of the people of the Bronx...
