Elias Nugator Senior used to run into Da Mayor down around City Hall back in the day, as my old man was once of those instantly recognizable civil servants (black eye patch doncha know) he always got a glad hand from hizzoner.
There are two things in my mind that are memorable about Kevin White, his thwarted ambitions to be Governor, to be Vice President to be a playa on the National Stage in the early 1970's. In retrospect, given the specific nature of his gifts perhaps it is best he never made the transition....
The other is that the man had a moral compass, it was well buried as it is with some pols, but when Justice asked for hard decisions, The Mayor did not flinch.
He got little credit for it...but his moral compass swung true nonetheless.
Rest in Peace, Your Honor.
