Summary from United States, from articles in English
|
If righteous indigna tion is your cup of tea, then the City Council chamber yesterday - where City Councilman Allan Jennings Jr. was accused of, shall we say, misbe havior - was the place to be. (article 4)
This was the councilmen's chance to prove themselves tireless defenders of "victimized groups" (in this case women), champions of the right to equal treatment and dignity for the "oppressed" sex, zealots against racial stereotyping. (article 4)
E compared his suffering to that of Christ and dismissed one of his accusers as a psychiatric case, but in Jennings could not dissuade his colleagues from censuring him yesterday for sexually harassing female subordinates. (article 2)
Threatening at times to enter the realm of the absurd, the day's proceedings seemed a fitting conclusion to a strange sideshow that has preoccupied and distracted council members since the first allegations came to light more than a year ago. (article 2)
The City Council yesterday censured and punished Jennings for abusing female staffers - the most severe sanction it has ever meted out against a member. (article 1)
Councilman David Yassky (D-Brooklyn) called Jennings' outrageous conduct a " stain on the council that must be responded to. (article 1)
