laguardia was a different story. laguardia was a reformer's dream come true.spoke yiddish, he spoke italian, he looked like lou costello, you know? he looked like a guy up from city streets. there was nothing snooty about him. and robert moses once said that he could, he could speak to people's grievances in five different languages. you know? so tammany had no playbook for this, you know? now, laguardia was elected with a minority vote, as in less than 50% in 19be 33 because -- 1933 because the democrats were split. and, of course, he subsequently is elected this 1937. but tammany never figured out laguardia, and there were many things that caused the death of tammany, not least of which its success. but certainly laguardia's loathing of tammany was one of them. but in 1938 when the laguardia administration was caught up in a police scandal, the the sort of thing that tammany was known for, laguardia said gee, i need a special prosecutor. i need somebody. so he called on the district, tammany district leader of the 36th district who had run against him in 193

was known for, laguardia said i need a special prosecutor. i need somebody. so he called in the tammany district for the 36th district, the holiday who would vote against 1937. see you at a tammany district leader investigating police for a reformer administration. new york city history is very complicated.
