ONLY HALF IN FUN

to the left, and soon thereafter he abandoned the Republican
Party entirely.
The Conservative Party, by contrast, was buoyed by Buckley's
high-profile mayoral campaign. In 1970 the party achieved its first
big win: a liberal Republican whom Governor Nelson Rockefeller
had appointed to replace the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy was
defeated in the general election by James Buckley, the mayoral
candidate's younger brother.
The Buckley mayoral campaign also created the first systematic
application of conservative principles to urban problems. Starting with a conservative respect for markets, individual choice,
accountability, and localism in politics, Buckley alone drafted all
ten of his campaign's position papers. It is here where Buckley's
skill as a curator of ideas proved most powerful.
On urban development, he wrote, "the beauty of New York
is threatened by the schematic designs . . . of social abstractionists . . . who do not . . . recognize what it is that makes for human
attachments-to little buildings and shops, to areas of repose
and excitement."19 Here he echoed the words of Jane Jacobs,
whose recently published The Death and Life of Great American
Cities ultimately became the textbook for smart urban planning.
In the area of race, Buckley adopted the findings of Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Nathan Glazer in Beyond the Melting Pot (1963)
and stressed that a sensitivity to family structure was critical to
any policy maker's deliberations on the plight of late-twentiethcentury black Americans.
In transportation, he proposed the development of a network
of bikeways. The idea was greeted with laughter, but four decades
later New York mayor Michael Bloomberg would install hundreds
of miles of bike lanes across the city.
