	John Lindsay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Controversial as mayor, Lindsay is credited with helping the city survive the 1960s without a major riot, but his policies were directly responsible for its fiscal crisis of the late 1970s in part due to the rapaciousness of the unions he was confronted with, particularly that of Mike Quill.
		Lindsay's paternal grandfather emigrated to the United States in the 1880s from the Isle of Wight, and his mother's family was from an upper middle class family that had been in New York since the 1660s.
		John's father was a successful lawyer and investment banker, and was able to send his son to the prestigious Buckley School, St.

		John's father, however, was a successful lawyer, and was able to send his son to Buckley, St. Paul's, and Yale.
		Lindsay left office in 1973 an unpopular mayor, and his reputation has fallen further since then, with the decline of liberalism and the spectacular 1970s fiscal wreck that Lindsay was most responsible for.
		Lindsay had allowed one in seven New Yorkers to work for the city, almost as high a percentage to be on welfare, had been overgenerous with the unions, and had borrowed for operating expenses.

		Lindsay's election to New York City's mayorship marked him as one of the youngest men to ascend to the office, and the first Republican to be elected since 1941.
		Lindsay's efforts in office included programs to make the city government more accessible to the people, and he was as noted for making sojourns, sans guards, through riot-torn Harlem after the assassination of civil rights leader Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King as he was for his ski trips with actor Robert Redford.
		Lindsay published two volumes of memoirs and penned a novel, "The Edge", but his later years were darkened by poor health and financial upheaval, having failed to qualify for a New York State Pension by several years, and left without insurance or benefits when his employing law firm went bankrupt in the early 1990s.

		A daughter of Sir William Lindsay of Rossie was wooed, won, and forsaken by the Duke of Rothesay, eldest son of Robert III., and it was in anger for this treatment of his daughter that Lindsay himself took part in the plot which sent the dissolute young prince to die by starvation at Falkland.

		Later, when the city teetered on the brink of bankruptcy, it was Lindsay’s capitulation to the demands of the transit workers which received the blame.
