"I've got my wife and a few bottles of cham­ pagne waiting for me at home." "You got the job'?" a student shouted out. "You're looking at the new Attorney General," he told them. The class cheered. Political science professor Carl Danberg, newly appoint­ ed Attorney General of Delaware, managed to cover seven cases with his Criminal Procedure class before heading home for the night to celebrate his promotion. Danberg is no stranger to Delaware's legal system. In 1990, he jumped onboard Sen. Joe Biden Jr's senatorial re­ election campaign. Biden was running against Jane Brady, who later became Attorney General of Delaware in 1996. When she entered office, Danberg had been Deputy Attorney General for less than three years. "I basically had no rights, no say in anything," Danberg said. "She could have fired me." Ironically, she didn't. "Instead, she called me into her office and said, 'If you demonstrate the same loyalty to me as you did to Biden, we'll have no issues.' "A year later, Brady named Dan berg Deputy Attorney General of the Year. After that Dan berg left office to become Deputy Principal Assistant at the Department of Corrections, a position he held for eight years. In August 2004, he returned to Brady's office to work as chief deputy. Approixmately two weeks ago, however, a new position found its way on to Danberg's resume. When the Governor's press secretary called looking for a comment on Brady's intention to leave office, Danberg said he knew he might be selected to fill the spot.

It was Main Street. "There were lots of stores and restaurants and so much stuffto do," she said. Two years later, standing on a sidewalk in front of the for­ mer Copy Maven and pointing to the eight empty properties lin­ ing a three-block stretch, Goldberg said she is disappointed. "Everything is empty," she said. ''Now there's nothing." Maureen Feeney-Roser, assistant planning director for the Downtown Newark Partnership, said there have always been vacancies on Main Street, but the distribution has changed and an area of the street that used to thrive is struggling. "Years ago it was hard to get a space near the end of Main Street closer to campus and we had trouble filling properties down past Academy Street," she said. ''Now it's switched." Feeney-Roser said she thinks the vacancies are noticeable because they are close together. "The number of vacancies is actually comparable with other years," she said, "but since all of the empty properties are clustered near each other, it seems alarming." The majority of vacancies are on the northern side ofMain Street, while only two are on the south. Feeney-Roser said she does not know why.
