Names in the News Shape New Police Oversight Body
The article notes a new IBI structure led by named figures to handle citizen complaints against police. Ware, a Black official, resigns from IBI after taking a side job as a special investigator tied to a probe orbiting Cook County State’s Attorney Hanrahan and 13 others related to a Black Panther raid. The plan collapses after the Illinois Supreme Court finds the investigation improper. Also, Cavett’s ABC talk show is renewed through December with plans for Jack Paar to return in January for a limited monthly week of broadcasts in the 10:30 p.m. to midnight slot.
