By Political Studies Center
The Joint Center for Politi
cal Studies (JCPS) has just re
leased an incisive analysis of
last year's Baltimore primary.
The author, G. James Fleming,
Professor of Political Science at
Morgan State College has had a
deep and involved relationship
, with practical politics for many
\ ears both as a teacher and as a
-newspaperman.
The analysis is particularly
valuable for students of minor
ity politics as well as those
whose interest is in urban af
fairs. The forty-page study
leaves no stone unturned in its
examination of the events that
unfolded during last year's Bal
timore primary. This study is
the second released by the Cen

Cordon Carey, a planner

said Monday HealthCo has

He said the project calls for

Carey said architects are al

According to Carey, the fa
