Baltimore and Hartford, Conn., include in their city-planning organizations not only the engineers and architects of old, but sociologists and architectural historians as well.

Grogan doesn't go beyond that, however. He won't predict just yet who'll be the next mayor. He'll tell you who won't be the next mayor, though. Topping that list is John Sears. "Sears." says Grogan, "is a Republican, and though the election is non-partisan, people won't forget that, and they won't forget that he's a Brahmin...
...neighborhood candidates and the votes these ones will get are votes that she could use. But she won't get them because, you see, the first loyalty is to the old neighborhood. And anyway not every-one, naming no names, of course, loves the idea of a lady mayor...
