John Vliet Lindsay, a tall outspoken 43 year old Republican rep, surged in a 17th district race as an independent GOP candidate and now contemplates a bid for New York City mayor. Observers say he could revitalize GOP prospects, though winning in a Democratic city would be tough.

It highlights his education, Navy service, Kennedy-like image, and a readable family, while listing modest wealth and a Wall Street background. It also mentions his roots in Washington and a career path from law to politics.
