Brooklyn Brawl

We've always admired Giff's political dexterity. And we don't claim fully to have untangled what's going on in Brooklyn at the moment, where the candidates are scrapping it out for the affection of members of the Independent Neighborhood Democrats, one of the Brownstone reform clubs. But we're hearing grumbling from across the bridge that Gifford has managed to align himself both with Brooklyn District Attorney candidate Mark Peters, the challenger, and with the incumbent, Joe Hynes. We hope you'll sort this out for us down below.
