Marion Barry Victorious in Comeback Bid
Marion Barry, the former Washington mayor staged another political comeback Tuesday, ousting an incumbent city councilwoman. The man once dubbed "Mayor For Life" appeared to have won the Democratic nomination for the Ward 8 council seat _ the same post he won in 1992 after serving six months in prison for his drug conviction. He used that as a springboard to a fourth term as mayor in 1994. With little money and few volunteers, Barry, 68, ran a low-key campaign against Councilwoman Sandy Allen, who once served as his campaign manager.
