...voice was cracked and harsh, his eyes as hollow as his campaign coffers. Yet even as New Yorkers streamed to the polls, John Vliet Lindsay loped urgently from block to block, borough to borough, croaking a threnody that had become as familiar and unique to the streets of New York as the carp of cab drivers or the yawp of fire trucks...
Manhattan Maverick. Oddly enough, the first Republican in decades with enough polyphyletic appeal to stand even a chance of winning is a WASP. John Vliet Lindsay, 43, is a towering (6 ft. 3 in.), Yale-educated Congressman from the city's well-heeled 17th District, who charged into the race five months ago as an authentic Manhattan maverick.

He is tall (6 ft. 3 in.) and handsome, with a pleasant smile and a rapid tongue. He comes from a proper Manhattan family-his father was an investment banker-and he went to the right schools: St. Paul's,Yale, and Yale Law. As a Navy lieutenant, he came out of World War II with five battle stars. He has a showcase family, including wife Mary, three daughters and a five-year...
