Mfume turns to face his chief foes: those memos

KWEISI MFUME no longer runs for the U.S. Senate against Benjamin Cardin. For the moment, Mfume runs against Mfume. Internal memos have surfaced from his years as executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, alleging sexual harassment and favoritism. This is unsettling news for the nation's oldest civil rights organization, and it is potentially murderous for a political campaign.
