...besting of Lyndon Johnson in a recent poll interests him not a "teeny-weeny bit," and argues that his disinclination is so pervasive that he makes "Sherman look like a lightweight." But when he met Governor Ronald Reagan for the first time, the conservative Californian said the liberal New Yorker simply had to be considered a potential candidate. Perhaps a dream ticket of Ronnie and Johnny uniting the coasts and the party's wings? (Or could it be Johnny and Ronnie?) "That's more than a dream," said Lindsay, "that's a nightmare...
...audience and ads, Felker will be competing with The New Yorker, which has just started promotional advertising in the New York Times for the first time in 14 years. But The New Yorker, although livelier of late, devotes little space to city affairs. The city is simply too vast, its interests too varied, to be covered properly in a single publication.

...evidence began to point to Lewin himself, who, after all, contributes political satire to The New Yorker and anthologizes it as well.

That style, explains Macdonald, is the best in the world for new ballet. "Americans are relatively weak...
...scared many liberal Democrats into voting for Lindsay. In the campaign, however, he momentarily fascinated many liberals with some thoughtful proposals (a heavy inbound toll on Manhattan bridges and tunnels to reduce traffic into the city), some antic ones (building an overhead bikeway down Second Avenue so that New Yorkers could improve their muscle tone), and almost total political candor. Even that well-known liberal Groucho Marx said that if he were a New Yorker, he'd vote for Buckley. And he wasn't kidding...
