...most celebrated and promising mayor in the U.S. Tall, handsome, flat-bellied, articulate with tongue and pen, popular with academics, big businessmen and show people as well as students and black slum residents, Lindsay represents the aristocratic remnant in local politics. As the liberal Republican who broke the Democratic hold on New York City, he was once touted as a future opponent to Robert Kennedy for the presidency.

Investment hous es seek Cornfeld's favor, and continental bankers have begun imitating his sales methods. Last week I.O.S. brought out its first...
...course, Robert Downey is insane. He has had the distinction of being kicked out of four schools, his house, the U.S. Army, and a waiter's job at Howard Johnson's (He yelled back orders like "veal parmegian, hold the veal."). He is the all-American guy gone wrong. He is nuts. He is also right...
