...leave La Guardia included Ronald Presslaff, 33, who was on his way home to Long Beach, N.Y., after having attended a Christmas family reunion in Indianapolis, and Donald Kochersperger, 57, a mining engineer returning to Greenwich, Conn., after a short business trip to Milwaukee. A limousine driver named Frank Musicaro, 48, was placing a call on his tie line to Dispatcher Jeanne McDonald. "I got my Wantagh passenger," he said. "Where do you want me to go next?"

Lindsay's prose, by comparison, seems set down by the numbers: "Mayor James Carr sat heavily in his big leather chair behind his littered desk in the handsome office in downtown San Marco." If Buckley has written Frank Merriwell Joins the CIA, Lindsay's lumbering parable could be subtitled Seven Years in May. The time is the not too distant future. Runaway unemployment and racial strife have brought about two years of martial law in America. Before Congress is a "Special Powers" bill that will eliminate virtually all civil liberties.
