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.
