on a side note: on yesterday's evening news on WBAI, their commentator john hess [sp?] lamented the behaviour of the UFT in their opposing dinkins and support guiliani and now hevesi, suggesting that what the UFT "management" (thats my word - leaders would be better?) want is quite the opposite of what is good for the members of the organization (and that this has been a trend since shanker).
