...hidden. In New York City's South Bronx, where Jimmy Carter took an impromptu walking tour earlier this month, there have been more than 7,000 fires in the past two years. "The destruction is reminiscent of the bombed-out cities in Europe," says Bronx District Attorney Mario Merola, who was a navigator in World War II. Chicago's Humboldt Park area has some 400 charred, abandoned buildings. In Detroit, 10,000 houses stand vacant, victims of fire. "The city is burning down," said an anguished Lieut.

TIME Bureau Chief Laurence I. Barrett covered Koch's journey from obscurity to fame-and to the precipice of New York's intimidating problems. Barrett's report...
...hire Political Consultant David Garth, the artful image maker who had helped a flock of long shots win office. In Garth's TV commercials, which became increasingly important as time went on, Koch came on as Mr. Competence. Still, Koch remained back in the pack of seven.
