Since those days, the pendulum has swung back a bit. Washington's Birthday, instead of being jeered at as a chauvinistic relic of D.A.R. promotion, is taken for what it is worth. It's a holiday in commemoration of an old patriot who undeniably pulled us out of a shaky situation, and, for all his shortcomings, managed to hold a few colonies together after the shouting and shooting had passed away. He might have been king, the historians tell us. He refused--and that's favor we might well thank...
Harlow used that same setup this fall, except that instead of shifting into the single-wing, he would shift into an L formation if he elected not to run from the T. He never used a spinner (one of the Crisler essentials) because he built his attack around the straight-ahead over power of Vinnie Moravec. When Moravec got hurt, it was too late to scrap the system.

...votes on the City Council now looms as the strongest group. The unexpected fratricide among reformists has proved a strategic godsend to the men intent on discrediting Plan E and proportional representation in the eyes of the electorate. PR forces a candidate before the entire city for re-election instead of allowing him the relative security of a small well-organized Ward. Such a plan constitutes a direct menace to professional politicos like Sullivan, Foley, Sennott, and Neville. Their political futures demand an inoperative government and a continuing stalemate. Although these men have had it within their power to elect...
