...their party's mayoral nomination seemed to be more interested in talking to one another than to the electorate. Last week's primary ended the in-group dialogue and gave hope of a lively, hard-fought campaign in a city whose smothering problems challenge every ounce of brain and muscle its next mayor can muster...
