	Tom Bradley Dies -- Longtime L.A. Mayor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.

		Bradley suffered from low support from white voters and soft support from some quarters of the fl community who saw him as too mild and too appeasing.
		Bradley was also confronted with the challenge of new waves of immigrants from Asia and Latin America.
		Bradley’s ability to transcend racial politics and his accomplishments as mayor led him to make a successful bid for the democratic nomination for governor of California in 1982.

		It looked like Bradley had enough wind beneath his wings to win big in 1969, and to become the first African American ever to be elected mayor of a major city.
		His win by a margin of 97,000 votes in a 2.8 million-population city with a mere 15 percent fl population was a brilliant and festive triumph for liberal and multi-ethnic politics in the darkening national twilight of the Nixon Administration.
		For a liberal mayor, Bradley had an extremely tight fist: one of his first demands was that the City Council cut Yorty's budgeted spending by 10 percent.

	The Last Plantation
		But it was on Bradley's watch that Tinseltown got respect: he energized culture and the arts, turned the moribund downtown into an international trade center, expanded the airport and the harbor, making the latter the nation's leading port, and laid the foundation for a commuter rail network.
		In their time, in their way, Lloyd and Bradley were dangerous men escaping a certain fate--the fate of Black peasants whose life was unprotected and whose labor was bought so cheap as to equal servitude in the rural South of their time.
		"Tomming," and other improvisations on the Black art of psychological subterfuge, were the stratagems employed to navigate the social prisons of their pasts.

		Now Bradley says he's against them, but the conversion seems only to have happened within the last year or so, coinciding with the realization that his continued support of vouchers would give the lie to his liberal image.
		Bradley accused Al Gore (not isolated individuals in the crowd) of calling Kerrey a "cripple," which they did not do, saying instead "Quitter" relating to his resignation from a Senate seat that may go Republican in the fall.
		Bradley also said that they threw mud at Bob Kerrey and even spit on him, two wholly false allegations (as Kerrey has, and I believe already had, pointed out to him).

	BEYOND THE BRADLEY MODEL - Los Angeles CityBeat
		But a power politician needs more than an infectious smile, a polished ruthlessness, a long memory, a funding machine, and the capacity to reward loyalty and punish its opposite.
		Worse, the Bradley coalition was composed of African-Americans, Jewish liberals, developers, and building trades, while Latinos were almost completely disenfranchised on the other side of the concrete Los Angeles River.
		Instead of Tom Bradley, he could become a modern Fiorello La Guardia, a champion of the people in an earlier gilded age in New York.

		The occasion for the UCLA rally was the campaign against what a recent article called "one of the most prominent and powerful organizations in the United States": the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, known as Mecha, a national Chicano student group founded during the identity and power movements of the early 1970s.
		Former California Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cruz Bustamante was the most high-profile Latino politician to come under attack for association with Mecha last year, though City Councilman and former LA mayoral hopeful Antonio Villaraigosa and dozens of other Latino politicos have also been targeted.
		Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Representative and chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, has since 9/11 regularly conflated Latino immigrants with "terrorist criminals" at meetings like one recently held in the predominantly white Los Angeles suburb of La Canada.

		A rising politician is pandering to anti-Jewish sentiment in the current campaign for the Bundestag, the German parliament.
		Political analysts figure that the politician is trying to woo three distinct groups: members of Germany's small but persistent far-right wing; members of Germany's Islamic immigrant community; and the undecided young voters who no longer wish to be burdened by the past.
		Others, however, suggest the poll results may reflect something similar to the "Bradley effect." A phenomenon noted by American pollsters, the Bradley effect takes its name from former Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley's 1982 run for California governor.
