	Mayor La Guardia and 42nd Street : New York History
		La Guardia had run for mayor against, and was crushed by, Walker in the 1925 election, having unsuccessfully campaigned on a platform of anticorruption by pointing a morally accusing finger at the flamboyant administration during the good times, when nobody cared.
		La Guardia was determined to destroy the pinball "scourge of the city's children" by declaring war on what had become a national obsession, and to him the symbol of all that had gone wrong in America.
		La Guardia fought back, broadening his fingerprint policy so that only those musicians who had secured a city-issued cabaret license could play in any of the boroughs-which was said to be only slightly less difficult to acquire than a gun permit for any performer who'd ever gotten so much as a speeding ticket.
