He has been fond of citing Fiorello La Guardia as his spiritual predecessor; it is only prudent to note that La Guardia tended to receive smaller majorities each time he ran, and he had larger majorities than Lindsay to begin with. (John Purrey Mitchell, an earlier reform mayor, failed to win reelection entirely.)

...inhales moral smog and exhales bombast. Herbert Blau is credited with translating the German; he has assuredly embalmed the English. Thanks to Blau, Robespierre has been given an outward resemblance to Barry Goldwater. This is a political subtlety fully worthy of the mentality that-in a since-deleted program note-linked Lyndon B.
