During the Vietnam days some radicals became heroes in the liberal press.  Let’s see, Jane Fonda, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Huey Newton - all became “far out” in the land of the groovy.  There was even a media name for the far-left movement: “radical chic.”   The revolution died out, of course, because it ran out of outrage.  After the war in Southeast Asia ended, the radicals splintered.  Ms. Fonda continued her movie career, John Kerry went into politics, Hoffman and Rubi...

De Blasio attacks mayoral candidates over opposition to jails plan By Courtney Gross New York City PUBLISHED 7:29 PM ET May. 14, 2021 PUBLISHED May 14, 2021 @7:29 PM SHARE It’s been more than a year-and-a-half since the City Council approved the de Blasio’s  administration’s plan to open new jails in four of the five boroughs and close R...

The next mayor of New York will assume leadership of America’s largest city at a hinge in its history, and not only because the five boroughs are still reeling from the loss of more than 30,000 lives and hundreds of thousands of jobs to the COVID pandemic.

New York Daily News editorial board: The next mayor of New York will assume leadership of America’s largest city at a hinge in its history. The candidate best equipped to guide us through this difficult moment is Kathryn Garcia.

If you’re just tuning in to this very weird and so far suspiciously stable mayoral race — where relative moderates Andrew Yang and Eric Adams have been running one and two in a packed field since January — but aren’t yet registered to vote, the good news is that there’s still time to do so ahead of the June 22 primary, two-and-a-half months earlier than the September one we’d had until now.

SECTIONS Last Updated: May 15, 2021, 10:44 PM IST Share Synopsis “It’s completely dead,” self-help author and provocateur James Altucher said in his blog essay “New York Is Dead Forever … Here’s Why” that was endlessly dissected, and mocked, last summer. Reuters “Businesses are remote and they aren’t returning to the office,” he wrote. “And it’s a death spiral.” “It’s a ghost town,” former President Donald Trump said of New Y...

As each spoke, the others listened quietly, waiting for their moment to speak. Then, Mr. Louis asked a question of all the candidates, and a cacophony of voices, apparently free from the silence of “mute,” crashed into each other. Such was the nature of a vir...
