	Tom Bradley Dies -- Longtime L.A. Mayor
		Bradley, a 21-year veteran of his city's Police Department and a former city councilman, became mayor in 1973 as Los Angeles tried finally to put the bitter legacy of the 1965 Watts riots behind it.
		Through it all, the 6-foot-4 Bradley remained an enigma to many, less a leader than a conciliator, more a listener than a speechmaker, and a symbol for African Americans even though he said he was not a fl politician but just a politician who happened to be fl.
		Bradley also was stung by investigations arising out of disclosures that during his time as mayor, he had served as a director or consultant for two financial institutions that did business with the city.

	Reviews for Tom Bradley
		Tom Bradley is a master of the intricate plot: he manages to weave together strands as seemingly unrelated as the Iranian hostage crisis, NORAD, expatriate Jews from Belarus, a German-founded order of nuns of perpetual adoration, and an unnamed but easily recognizable cult with sinister plots and a megalomaniacal mastermind.
		Like Pynchon, Bradley possesses a Technicolor imagination and the power to wield language like a stun gun; but he tempers his spiraling narrative with a reasonably linear storyline, and his cynicism with genuine affection for his characters, a la Robbins.
		Throughout the spinning miasma of his prose, Bradley sets his story in several disparate locales, gives the reader a dazzling array of characters who are at once larger-than-life, while tragically and comically very human, and brings the lines of the lives they lead into connection with often explosive and always engaging results.
