Indeed, Rockefeller and Rose supported Lindsay in 1965 as the man who could best "save" New York City after it had slid under Mayor Wagner. Last week Wagner played a coy waiting game, but the betting was that he would eventually accept the bid from Rocky and Rose...

He worried that three possible candidates for mayor might be less amenable than Wagner. They are: 1) Lindsay, who could always change his mind and run again, 2) Democratic Congressman Mario Biaggi, a conservative and much decorated former policeman, who in his Bronx office dispenses help to complaining constituents in the style of the Godfather, and 3) Republican State Senator John Marchi of Staten Island, an able conservative...

"Where were you?" asks the model's travel companion (Estelle Parsons) when she returns to their compartment after being rebuffed by Fonda. "Out of my depth," the model replies...

Ken Howard, who plays this role, bears an uncanny physical resemblance to New York Mayor John Vliet Lindsay. The heroine, Gittel Mosca (Michele Lee), is an artsy Jewish girl on the lam from The Bronx to Greenwich Village. She is spunky and sassy, but inwardly scared. Out of mutual need, the pair promptly share bedded bliss until sense collides with sensuality...
