Lindsay, John Vliet

Lindsay, John Vliet
▪ 2001

      American politician (b. Nov. 24, 1921, New York, N.Y.—d. Dec. 19, 2000, Hilton Head Island, S.C.), served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1959 to 1965 and as mayor of New York City from 1966 to 1973, first as a Republican but from 1971 as a Democrat; in 1972 he was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Faced with the turbulence of civil-rights and antiwar demonstrations during his terms as mayor, he defused much of the tension by appearing in the streets and talking with the people. After leaving office, Lindsay practiced law, made an unsuccessful attempt (1980) at a Senate nomination, acted as a political commentator on television, and wrote a number of books.
