...angular, thin-lipped economic planner from the southern Ukraine, Tikhonov is considered by Kremlinologists to be a loyal follower of President Leonid Brezhnev, 72, and a probable successor to ailing Premier Aleksei Kosygin, 75.

The Italian-surnamed successor that Vellucci-supporters are likely to find won't prove as liberal. Instead, a new neighborhood dynasty, like those built by other city conservatives, could rise, toppling the liberal coalition majority and with it rent control...
