Safety Department (PSD) in St. Joseph, Michigan. Clapp
was the director and, DiBrito was the deputy director.
They were under the supervision of the city manager.
One day, Clapp told Tom Vaught, a PSD employee, that
the previous city manager had hired DiBrito only because
DİBrito had been investigating the city manager for
possible wrongdoing. Clapp said that DiBrito had

make regarding a second in charge." However, the
consultant also identified issues regarding DiBrito's
"honesty, inappropriate statements to…

- Wounded Knee 1One wintry night in 1890, about four hundred Native Americans set up camp near Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota. 2When they awoke the next morning, they found themselves surrounded by U.S. soldiers. 3On the hilltop above were numerous machine guns. 4When the soldiers ordered the Native Americans to hand over any weapons they might have, they refused. 5The soldiers began searching for weapons. 6Then someone fired a shot. 7Immediately, the machine guns started blasting—slaughtering Native American men, women, and children. 8Within a short time, all were killed. 9Several days later, the frozen bodies were tossed into a common grave. 10Instead of condemning the soldiers, the government awarded the troop twenty-six Medals of Honor and labeled the event a “battle.” 11It was the last fought against the Native Americans, and so ending the American Indian wars.

Peter hires Alice as an agent to sell a piece of property he owns. The price is to be at least $30,000. Alice discovers that the fair market value of Peter's property is actually at least $45,000 and could be higher because a shopping mall is going to be built nearby. Alice forms a real estate partnership with her cousin Carl. Then she prepares for Peter's signature a contract for the sale of the property to Carl for $32,000. Peter signs the contract. Just before closing and passage of tittle, Peter learns about the shopping mall and the increased fair market value of his property. Peter refuses to deed the property to Carl. Carl claims that Alice, as Peter's Agent, solicited a price above that agreed on when the agency was created and that the contract is therefore enforceable. Discuss fully whether Peter is bound to this contract. (See Duties, Right, and Remedies of Agents and Principals.)arrow_forward
