The building's owner said that less steel had been found than expected, and the mayor stood by the decision to demolish.

The mayor looked at his watch and stood.

For several moments the mayor stood transfixed, unable to believe his ears.

The mayor and the governor stand around looking affable.

Now, the mayor must either pay the judgment or stand in contempt of court.

Even though the mayor was still standing beside him, he suddenly felt very much alone.

The former mayor of the city, a Fascist, was standing in the same doorway.

The new mayor patiently stood on a receiving line for hours, greeting well-wishers.

It is good to know that the mayor is standing behind them.
