Philadelphia: The Crusher A lackluster machine politician before the 1967 campaign began, Philadelphia's Mayor James Tate had both luck and organized labor on his side when election day rolled around. By chance, he had been in Tel Aviv during the six-day Arab-Israeli war last June; later he appeared in Rome when Philadelphia's Archbishop John Joseph Krol was installed as cardinal, thereby gaining overnight a statesmanlike image.
