...York is not the one seen by the visitor, not Broadway or Park Avenue, not Greenwich Village or Harlem. Procaccino lives in a suburban setting so far north in The Bronx that the city boundary runs through his backyard. Marchi has a comfortable house in another outlying region, Staten Island. Lindsay is the Manhattan man. The differences are major. A man in the outer boroughs may work in Manhattan, but he is no more a Manhattanite by temperament than is a citizen of Omaha. Manhattan is heavily populated by the East Side affluents, by poor blacks and Puerto Ricans...
...last June's primaries, both Procaccino and Marchi carried Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island but lost Manhattan. Marchi entitled his campaign kickoff speech 'The Forgotten New Yorker." One of the catchy phrases Procaccino uses repeatedly is "the Manhattan arrangement."

A planeload of 40 touring American students was somehow blown off course, crash-landed on an isolated mid-Pacific island and, in the process, lost its radio and any hope of ever returning to civilization. So the kids, stereotypes to a man (one militant black, one racist white Southerner, one rebellious daughter of a Senator) have to create their own world in a sort of college-age Lord of the Flies. In the opener, they played Hobbes with themselves and plausibility. The life...
Brown, victors by a 21-0 score over Rhode Island, edged into the top ten, ranking tenth. The others listed were Connecticut, fifth: Massachusetts, sixth: Yale, seventh: and Northeastern, ninth...
