Chicago delay seen as Cronin under political fire
Gordon Britton reports Joseph Cronin denies political pressure shapes his support for another extension of Chicago's desegregation deadline. Cronin, a longtime desegregation proponent, faces intense criticism from legislators and Chicago politicians who seek quicker action. He seeks to avoid direct blame by stressing board patience and deferring to staff, while critics push to cut the time Chicago has to comply.
