Strunsky, Steve. "ON POLITICS; One Mayor's Two Jobs Revive an Old Debate", The New York Times, June 27, 1999. Accessed March 29, 2008. "Last week, Mr. James, 64, joined a handful of others who answer to more than one constituency when he was sworn in to complete the unexpired Senate term of Wynona Lipman, who died last month. He was chosen by Democratic leaders in this case, not by voters, who will get their say in a special election in November to complete Senator Lipman's unexpired term ending in 2001."
