...should have been a shoo-in. His first two-year term as mayor of Miami Beach had been honest and productive. He had become a popular, familiar figure about town. More important, in a city where more than 40% are old enough (the median age: 59) for the welfare benefits initiated by his father, Elliott Roosevelt had a magic name...
...most remarkable finding is that audiences from art form to art form are "very" similar.

Unemployment hovers around ten per cent, the median annual family income is less than $3,000 and, in some neighborhoods, is below $1,500. About a fifth of the city has new sewer service and more than half of the streets are unpaved. As many as 8,000 of Laredo's people migrate annually to do farm work. Illiteracy plagues one-sixth of the populace...
