Leah and Dan sit down to talk about Dan's early involvement in the 1969 reelection campaign of New York Mayor John V. Lindsay. In Dan's own words: "Years later, when I represented parts of southern Brooklyn in the Legislature, my Democratic district leader told me how the City, early in the Lindsay administration, had opened a center for developmentally disabled children in Manhattan Beach, the wealthiest part of the district. Dozens of neighborhood matrons picketed the small center, carrying signs some of which read “Down with Lindsay.” Then Lindsay appeared. As he approached the women, smiling, one by one the signs gradually came down, amidst murmurs of “he’s so handsome!” The center served developmentally disabled children at that location for decades thereafter."

Episode 8: The Campaigns of 1969-70

A Good Run Podcast offers pieces of political history as personally experienced by Dan Feldman, a New York State legislator between 1981 and 1998 and current public management professor at John Jay College. The series includes revealing encounters between Feldman and such legendary New York political figures as Ed Koch, Mario Cuomo and John Lindsay, as well as with figures still prominent in American politics. His two children, Asher and Leah, take turns interviewing Dan about topics recounted on the Tales From The Sausage Factory blog, a compendium of narratives published in conjunction with a book of the same name from SUNY Press.
