Citizen Sidel

Mayor Isaac Sidel is the Democrats' darling, the front-runner for the vice-presidential nomination. His running mate's checkered past includes baseball czardom and student radicalism at Columbia that is now causing some concern. But Sidel has his own worries as two police captains are at each other's throats, a supposedly dead cop may be prowling the Lower East Side, the ex-mayor is in the madhouse, and the Latin Jokers gang is shooting people on the street. For Isaac Sidel, the road to Pennsylvania Avenue is exceedingly treacherous.
