The Week

On August 2 the New York Times (hereinafter called NYT) ran a large photo, page one, of New York City’s Mayor John Lindsay walking in Washington with David Ginsburg. On August 6, a Sunday, the NYT ran a photo, page one, of Mayor Lindsay (hereinafter JVL) seated, shirtsleeved, on an airplane, cuddling a Negro baby. On August (hereinafter Aug.) 8, NYT photoed JVL, page 23, “glancing at debris on sidewalk and in lot on Boerum Street” (shirtsleeves). Aug. 13, Sunday, NYT photoed JVL, page (p.) one, refereeing boxing match twixt C. Ortiz ({entiende?) and J. Draci (slacks, sport shirt). Aug. 17, NYT photoed JVL, p. one, in open rear seat of Cadillac, in Newark (N.J.), “thronged by Newark youngsters” (shortsleeve shirt, tie). Aug. 20, a Sunday, NYT photoed JVL, p. one, lolling courtside, watching “Mrs. Lindsay and Margaret Disco… play a UN team” (tennis togs, sweater over shoulders, hair damp). Aug. 22, NYT photoed JVL, p. 28, squatting, watching, “as a passerby attends Angelo Picar” (shirtsleeves). Get the picture?

Good for Claude Kirk. In case you missed it, the Republican Governor of the state of Florida materialized at one of Rap Brown’s hate sessions, helped himself to the microphone, and gave the gentry a few words on law and order; and then, unaccompanied by bodyguard or escort, went to his car and drove off. The governor is worth watching. He is strong-willed and, some say, a little unpredictable. But he’s got a lot of money, is a conservative, and knows how to talk to any group at all, especially voters.
