...side has been making concessions-stopping the bombing, redeploying troops, offering to let the Communists participate legally in political affairs in South Viet Nam. Do you think this has led to any progress in Paris...
...given extra helpings of aid to repair the damage of past mistreatment. There is a personal edge to the bitterness of Procaccino's followers, for Lindsay seems to belong to a world that his detractors say they can never enter ? the world of Manhattan's glittering East Side, of discotheques and penthouse parties, of private-school accents and what Procaccino, in a rare flash of genuine wit, once called the "limousine liberals."

They leave the Democratic Party only when it swings too far to the liberal side, and Procaccino has not done that. He also seeks to include behind his average-man barricade another, more elusive segment of the population?typified by the schoolteacher, the junior accountant, the shopkeeper, the middle-income lawyer or engineer who chooses to work for the government...
