On a month's vacation in Europe that ended last week, Democrat Dilworth wrote a series of mayor's-eye-view stories for the Inquirer that found a moral for the home folks almost every place he visited. Describing the rebuilt sections of West Berlin, for example, Yaleman Dilworth said they offer "conclusive proof of how essential it is to the health and well-being of a large city to have ample, well-planned open space...
