Question
A short-lived publicly funded “anti-defamation agency” in this city aimed to boycott companies that referred to it pejoratively, such as S.O.S. Soap Pads. A mayor of this city famously said “if this machine says a man lied, he lied” before failing a polygraph test, ending his gubernatorial bid. Gregore J. Sambor resigned from this city’s police department in the wake of an event prompted by the killing of James Ramp. During a confrontation with a group that followed “The (*) Guidelines,” a mayor of this city was heavily criticized for using a helicopter to drop a Tovex bomb on a neighborhood home, causing a fire that took the lives of 11 people. In this city, mayors Wilson Goode and Frank Rizzo participated in a standoff against John Africa.
