A visibly battered Wisconsin mayor recounted Wednesday how he was beaten with a pipe after he attempted to help a screaming woman outside the state fair. "I think it's fair to say that things got very, very ugly, very, very quickly," said Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, speaking to reporters gathered outside his home. Barrett wore a cast on his fractured right hand. A cut on his face ran from his left cheek to just below his lips.
