Not correct. Don't believe everything you read in newspapers!!
For example, it was much less than 40 years ago that Jackie Cherryhomes
defeated Van White in the 5th ward. At that time, she was the young
reformer from the neighborhood running against the entrenched politician
supported by the downtown business interests.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
