After a campaign filled with mud-slinging, accusations, and corruption, Billy Dale-San Francisco''s most cunning, most successful political consultant-steers former police chief Jack Callahan to a sweet victory in an underdog race for mayor on Election Night, 1991. But the city''s two daily newspapers are not about to let Callahan off the hook. Both papers lost plenty of political clout by backing the incumbent.
