PHILADELPHIA -- Mayor
W. Wilson Goode, fighting for
his political life since the release
of a scathing report on the May

Monday that he doesn't expect to

The mayor, speaking at a news
conference, also ruled out once
more the possibility of resignation.
"I am content to let the people

Goode called the news conference
to respond to the MOVE
commission report accusing him
of "grossly negligent" conduct
during the armed siege that left
11 people dead and 61 homes
destroyed by fire.
The panel, appointed by
Goode, called for a grand jury investigation
of the "unjustified
homicides" of five MOVE
children in a fire touched off
when police dropped a bomb on
