Furthermore, there is nothing to suggest that Lindsay will have an easy time being reelected Mayor. 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.) Whatever the success of his programs, the new Mayor will certainly receive plenty of adulation from the Herald Tribune, Times, Time, etc., but New York in 1969 will still...

He has countless friends in Congress and the business establishment, and he has the ear of Lyndon Johnson, who can hardly find enough adjectives to express his admiration: "He's prudent, careful, able, loyal.

Love and nonviolence, by contrast, is the overriding message of Martin Luther King, yet after the riot in the Watts section of Los Angeles, Governor Brown thought it prudent to discourage even King from visiting California.

One worried couple hired a tutor to teach their boy how to cope with coloring books...
...delivered them with complete self-assurance. He was often profoundly right, especially in his early diagnosis of the dangers of Nazism. He could also be spectacularly wrong. In the close 1948 presidential election, which tried the stamina of most pundits, he kept insisting, long after it was prudent, that Tom Dewey would win by an "overwhelming vote." Later Truman enjoyed imitating H.V.'s commentary in H.V.'s voice. Kaltenborn did not resent it; he mimicked Truman mimicking...
