Lindsay's reformist zeal, in turn, only alienated upstate legislators, who instinctively recoiled from the prospect of taxing commuters in order, as they saw it, to finance the city's sacrosanct, heavily subsidized 150 transit fare. The wrangling forced two extensions in the city's deadline for enacting its 1966-67 budget; the second expired last week...

In the ephemeral flow of contemporary styles, this art chitters and clatters on ahead like a mechanical rabbit with transistorized circuits...
