Campaign financing woes dampen candidates' bids
In a Syracuse based report, several candidates recount how fundraising shortfalls affected campaigns. Edward Koch promised $100,000 to Gallagher for comptroller, a pledge later deemed impossible to honor before a primary, leaving Gallagher with only $5,000 and a total spend of about $130,000 against Edward Regan’s far larger outlay. Other hopefuls like Nicholas Esce and Kay Benedict faced income losses and personal sacrifice, yet kept optimism for future runs, noting the feverish push to serve and the strain on families.

Mothers cry as the jury finds Dudley Williams guilty of murder in the Metot child's death. Wayne Metot, Amanda’s father, and others react with mixed emotion as Burke explains the verdict rests on a depraved indifference to life. Defense says Williams showed remorse, while prosecutors note the case tested jurors over charges of murder, manslaughter, and negligent homicide. The panel sought explanations of legal distinctions and testimony details during deliberations.

Educational HELP Column on interior decorating and guitar making
A reader asks how to break into interior decorating with a clerical background and to learn guitar making. Freeman Associates founder Ellie Freeman recommends adding design courses, contacting ASID members for entry level work, exploring furniture store roles linked to design institutes, or volunteering with a designer to gain paid opportunities. For guitar building, Dan Dinshaw offers guidance and a Central Library resource suggests the book Classic Guitar Making to aid apprenticeships and school options.
