I agree with you about Lindsay, but not about Dinkins, although I did vote for him the first time he ran. I wonder if you are right when you say Wagner will go down as the poster child for neglect. I hope he does. I remember all the praise he received by the press at his funeral. They even complimented his famous long pauses and hmms when responding to reporters' questions as "political brilliance." What was so brilliant? That the man couldn't think of an answer right away?Too bad his son, Bobby Jr. never became mayor. They were different like night and day. I knew him personally. He was a hell of a nice guy, kept his word, was very smart and had a photographic memory. As my political science teacher told me, "Bobby Jr.' got all the brains of his father in one of his fingers." |
