PHILADELPHIA'S CITY HALL is an immense 700-room building, even taller than the Capitol in Washington, DC. A statue of William Penn, the city's founder, stands on top of it. Until 1987 no building in the city was higher than the top of Penn's hat. High-rises now dwarf the statue. John "Johnny Doc" Dougherty, head of the Local 98 electrical union, has long helped shaped Philadelphia's politics as well as its skyline. How he did so is outlined in a 160-page federal indictment, containing 116 counts of embezzlement, fraud and public corruption, which reads like a relic from the mid-1970s.
