Just as Cuomo complains in his diaries of the triumph of the superficial over the meaningful, so too does his account skirt any developed coherent discussion of the man's deepest beliefs and convictions. "People are susceptible to simplistic--and erroneous--answers." Cuomo writes, before launching into: "The whole criminal system needs rehabilitation, unemployment must be relieved, a loss of spiritual values has created a vacuum--but many people believe the answer is the electric chair.

MEANWHILE, Baltimore joins the ranks of cities scorned. The most famous franchise move, the relocations of baseball's Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants to California in the early '60s, threatened our deepest illusions about sport because they were so blatantly mercenary. Forever shattered was the image of owners as kindly old gents who loved to be around players and considered sports an extended recess from the real world. Broken hearted New Yorkers asked what a city could call its own besides taxes, garbage, and perhaps a flashy slogan. The Big Apple has a cultural reputation verging on the mythic...
