Chronicles in Leadership

Among the crowd at last night's victory party for Senator-elect Sherrod Brown was Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson. But while some revelers were hoping for a few words of congrats from Jackson, the mayor was just there to watch. "He's a man of few words," Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones explained to the audience. Mayor Jackson, whose most eloquent statement in recent memory was, "Mmmm, yes, mmm-hmmm, OK, yes, I like that," stood silent and nodded, then quietly shuffled through the crowd. -- Jared Klaus
