" Cianci Resigns- No Jail Time "

 " Cianci Resigns- but No Jail Time ". That is the headline I

    want to read in the Providence Journal next week.

                The jury verdict -which I can respect - is ingeniously

    enigmatic : How can the mayor be  guilty of nothing in particular but

    at the same time guilty of EVERYTHING ?

                 Judge Torres must resolve this paradox. I agree with

    today's PROJO editorial that " Buddy " should resign. And I agree with

    M. Charles Bakst that only nitwits will put our " Buddy " on a pedestal.

                   " Buddy " - who is his own best buddy - is wise to

    resign. He is now too tainted to continue in office.

                A profound or obtuse German philosopher once wrote : " The

    truth is concrete ". Applied to the Providence Mayor it means you can't

    send him to jail because he LOOKS crooked !

               So I repeat : FREE BUDDY !  But also, " BUDDY GO HOME ! "
