Doubtless Rodgers and Hammerstein were properly determined that never their twain should meet; in any case, they operate at such different levels that they cannot. Where, in musicomedy terms, The King and I seemed truly exotic and aromatically blended fable, score and choreography into one. Flower Drum Song has no distinctive elements to blend and is never really exotic because it makes Chinatown almost indistinguishable from Broadway...

He concentrated unerringly on state issues, e.g., stop loss of industry from high-tax New York; crack down on organized crime; preserve rent controls, the 15? subway fare; find new-solutions for commuter problems. He appealed to independents, even edged slightly away from Vice President Nixon when Nixon visited New York.
