- <p> The N.A.A.C.P.'s search for a new executive director was a
- bureaucratic nightmare, complete with name calling and
- last-minute power plays. The culmination came when the Rev.
- Jesse Jackson, best known among four final candidates for the
- post, withdrew his name from consideration. The final selection,
- made Friday, was almost anticlimactic: the Rev. Benjamin Chavis,
- an official with the United Church of Christ and a civil rights
- activist. Relatively speaking, getting the job was the easy
- part. Chavis' true challenge will be to restore the N.A.A.C.P.
- to its former glory.
