him with an opportunity to vent his<br />

frustrations over what he called<br />

"negative publicity' 1 arising from<br />

the King affair. .<br />

"I had <strong>officers</strong> coming into my<br />

office and saying, ·'Gosh, people are<br />

flipping us off and spitting.at us,' "<br />

recalled Cholakian. "I was so overwrought<br />
