Five years as first assistant, James Dailey pitches honesty integrity and compassion as core values. Erie faces seven murders this year, while national debate grows as HEW chief Elliott Richardson seeks to ban smoking in federal offices and conference rooms, backed by anti smoking advocate John Banzhaf citing health impacts.
