The Nation's Hope

By Kenneth T. Zemsky

Fifty years ago, beneath the gleaming structures of the World's Fair, New York is a city in decay. A beautiful pioneering journalist is assigned to cover the city's response to the crisis in one of the most pivotal elections in its history. As 1965 beckons, two candidates are poised to do battle: the long-serving Democratic incumbent mayor, and the handsome young congressman running as a fusion candidate. The latter is an erstwhile Republican, whose party has calculated that the only way to survive the previous year's Goldwater debacle is to pivot far to the left of the political spectrum. The campaign is upended by a crippling newspaper strike...and the emergence of a brilliant contrarian, who believes the way forward is not to the left, but sharply to the right, as he strives to give birth to modern conservatism.
