After two years of controversy over the police department and utility rates, Hofheinz has come through both more mature and more wise to the workings of city government. He has acted with an uncommon mixture of high principles and political good sense. Hofheinz's record in the police department should by itself be sufficient to win the the support of Rice people. For years, Houston police have compiled dossiers on innocent citizens (usually through illegal means), become involved in the sale of narcotics, and in general made themselves a nuisance to opponents of the political establishment. Hofheinz's initiated a thorough housecleaning of the HPD through his appointment of Chief Caroll Lynn; and though the outrage of Hofheinz's political foes forced Lynn out, Hofheinz stood by his commitment that the police department would have to change its ways—and it has begun to. Hofheinz's opponents are even further reason to vote for the Boy Wonder. Dick Gottlieb is a spineless, second-rate political hack and Frank Briscoe would no doubt bring back the stocks to enforce his law 'n' order philosophy. Neither is qualified to be MW mayor. Despite everything, Tuesday's election is likely to be close—in Houston, mayoral elections always run that way. Fred Hofheinz 'YOUR AUNT MURIEL IS SICK AND WISHES MDU'D WRITE ... A BILL...
