Re: The PATCO Solution

Peter, That's wonderfully put. Though I must make a grudging admission that it applies much more to Pataki than Bloomberg. For all of his liberal leanings, the city is fortunate to have gotten him as the successor for Giuliani, given the alternatives. He is a highly effective manager; and who knows but that this strike may yet reactivate his inner Boss, honed from years in the private sector? He didn't get this far without knowing how to squash bugs. Here's hoping.
