Al Pacino is compelling as the major of New York City, a hands on kind of

erupts that threatens the power structure of the city...and the reputation of a
highly placed judge played by Martin Landau.
Danny Aeillo is a powerful political boss in Brooklyn and there are mob
connections in the persona of Tony Franciosa.
John Cusack is Deputy Mayor, dedicated to the mayor and his policies.
Bridget Fonda plays an attorney who is hot on the trail Aeillo's character

The deal making and politics game elements give "City Hall" a "B+".

A Radford University graduate student is SUING the school over his
suspension by a Judicial Review Panel.
Richard Baffour was charged with SEXUAL misconduct, but the panel concluded
ONLY that Baffour had "PHYSICAL contact" with his accuser... not "SEXUAL
contact."
Like the case of Christy Brzonkala at Virginia Tech, the suit CHALLENGES the
effectiveness of INTERNAL review panels WITHIN the university system.
Radford President Douglas Covington ordered Baffour OUT of university
housing yesterday, and a federal judge DECLINED to BLOCK that order.
Baffour was due to get his degree in May.
