reform in the wake of a black predecessor. But there's a special relationship between Rendell and Giuliani. Rendell grew up in Manhattan and comes to visit his mother, who lives on the Upper East Side. When in town, he drops by City Hall to offer Rudy counsel. Rendell's advice also passes through his No. 2, Cohen, to Giuliani's chief of staff. Randy Mastro. They were law-school classmates at the University of Pennsylvania and speak often about such topics as municipal-union-busting and competitive contracting. So strong is the tie between the mayors that enemies of reform in the two cities are getting together; six New York City Council Democrats hostile to privatization recently took a field trip to Philly to meet Rendell opponents.

Of course, Rendell has had it easier in certain respects. Philadelphia's government never grew into the social-utopian leviathan New York's did. Ester Fuchs, who heads the urban-studies center at Barnard-Columbia and is author of the book Mayors and Money, also points out that Rendell's position in 1992 was more closely analogous to Ed Koch's in 1978.

nihan would make it this far. His early rebellion against Democrat- ic Party liberal orthodoxies, his controversial truth-telling posi- tions on race, and his prominent role in the administration of Rich- ard Nixon might have fated him to join the ranks of neocon cranks, like his onetime friend Norman Podhoretz. Tales of his drinking, his eccentricities, and his serious temper could have consigned him to the fringe, a sort of Democratic Party don with limited effectiveness—Goldwater without a legion of true believers. But at 67 and at the pinnacle of his power, Moyni- han has not only endured; he has triumphed. Few politicians can claim even one or two moments when they alone seemed to drive a major issue or public debate. Pat Moyni- han can count dozens—car safety, nuclear-arms control, mental- health policy, a guaranteed-family-income policy, the tribulations of the black family. Social Securi- ty policy, the role of ethnicity, the end of the Soviet Union (which Moynihan—alone on the planet Earth, apparently— predicted in 1979).

Moynihan particularly enjoyed pushing around college students who might come slum- ming in the neighborhood. His favored term of dispar- agement— for the sons of the upper-middle classes was and is "rich college fuck." The Moynihans had entertained hopes of rich-coUege- fiickdom for young Patrick until the journeyman journalist lohn Moynihan found himself saddled with gam- bling debts he could not pay and a drinking habit he could not kick. He left his wife and three children when Pat was only 10, never to see his wife, eldest son, or daughter again. The family was plunged into poverty and had to eke out an existence, moving from one shab- by apartment to another, eventually settling above the bar in Hell's Kitchen. While the family was living on the Upper West Side, young Pat chose to attend Benjamin Franklin High

School, on 1 16th Street off the FDR Drive, graduating, as always, first in his class. The high-school-yearbook editors predicted that Moynihan, virtually the only Irish- man in a class of Italians, blacks, and Hispanics, would become a bank president, "cussing out the labor unions and dum radicals." Over the years, Moynihan has recounted his decision to go to City College after graduation as a kind of freak accident. "I didn't know what a college was," he told —

I tried to get more out of him about how the body had been wrapped. "It was just plastic bags," he said. "What about the AP report of imitation

"I think it was a .25," he said unconvincingly. Clearly he wasn't going to be the one to give me anything. But he'd be happy if someone else did. "Call Raul Figueroa," he said. "Call Figueroa."

A Means to an End Table

These tables look Hie pieces of a

giant jigsaw puzzle, but puzzles had

notfaii^ to do wMi their concefition.

Haian architect Sim Russo was new

to the laser method of cutting steel,

so he stuck to elemental shapes

squares, triangles, and circles. But

wanting a "counterpoint of opposites,"

Russo added square cutouts to the circles

and round cutouts to the triangles and

squares. Never mind their aitislic genesis

these witty triangles are perfect end tables to

put between sofas and chairs ($180).

Moderne Times

American Modcme and high tech are alive and well and living in the East Village. Stimuli—Michael Lazarovic's spare, closet-size shop—offers a

collection of the best of stylish late-twentieth-century design. There are

Lazarovic's own fanciful desktop creations: recycled-aluminum half-moon tape

dispensers and wall-hung multimedia storage racks. But there are also

handsome German imports (squat chrome-plated staplers and perforated

stainless-steel magazine butlers) and Spartan objects for the home (frames, salt

and pepper shakers, standing lamps, and cocktail tables). True to its name.

Stimuli rouses the spirits. (From $8 for an anodized-aluminum business-card

holder to $69 for a steel fruit bowl to $375 for David Bergman's copper-tubing

floor lamp to $ 1 ,450 for Larry Godfried's tcrrazzo-and-brass table.) STiMULi/JJO East 9th Street/477-1476

Checker was produced). They have cellular phones, stereo systems, jump seats (one of the Checker's prole-limo joys), and can comfortably seat five.

The problem is that the technique of animation has become so good that whereas cartoons no longer have the slightest difficulty looking like people,

people still find it dauntingly difficult to look like cartoons. This may prove the downfall of Beauty and the Beast, the musical: The live actors straining to re-create their drawn alter egos end up less than drawn and more than quartered. Poor Madame de Beaumont obviously wrote her fairy tale in response to her unhappy marriage: In reality, her brute of a husband had refused to become princely, so she spun a therapeutic fantasy in which he did. Perhaps the musical should have

snatched the opportunity to tell the story of how the love of a good feminist turns a wife-beater into a Prince Charming, or some such contemporary fairy tale. But

that way it might have failed as an infomercial. So the performers are in trouble. Dear little Susan Egan manages to look reason-

The first of Massine's several symphonic ballets, Les Presages broke ground for this genre, daring to propose a dance response to serious concert music. But compared with Balanchine's, Massine's musical intelligence is simplistic. "Music visualization." the epithet applied to Bal- anchine's abstract work by some of its de- tractors, is far more pertinent in Massine's case. Having analyzed the basics of the score's structure, he proudly demon- strates them like an accomplished school- boy. Further than that he doesn't venture, diverting the balance of his attention to Meaning. The gist of the allegory he attempts to convey is the conflict between human nature (with its capacity for fo- cused achievement, rarefied love, and so on) and a malignant destiny, itself born from the darker recesses of man's soul.

This British movie has become an American phenomenon—possibly one of the most successful British imports ever and obviously Grant has a lot to do with it. Exceptionally good-looking in a smooth, hairless, almost nubile way (more deer than goat), he's appealing to women,
