...Yet the dilemma remains: a negotiated peace does not seem readily at hand while Thieu and Ky hold power-and while Hanoi continues to insist that they must go. One possible answer may lie not in logic but evolution. It could come about as the timetable of U.S. withdrawals continues to unfold. At some point down the track, Thieu and Ky are likely to reach the conclusion that if they cannot live forever with Americans present to protect them, then they cannot operate without the Communists.

Lindsay is not offering a raft of new ideas either. He stands on the goals he has already set, acknowledges that the city still has vast problems that cannot be solved with its own resources, admits his mistakes and says that he has learned from them.

...modest entrepreneurs. They have status but are not secure in it. They have aspirations for the good life but not quite enough income to achieve it. They cannot afford private schools for their children, and the public schools in many of their neighborhoods are bad. They cannot tolerate crime; yet it keeps rising. They are open to liberal approaches, but the city has had liberal administrations of one kind or another for as long as they can remember while conditions have grown worse...
