Nice try, but NO cigar!
Ailing Lindsay Is Given Posts To Get City Health Insurance By LAWRENCE VAN GELDER
Former Mayor John V. Lindsay, in declining health, has been appointed by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani to two city posts to make him eligible for municipal health insurance coverage and eventually, perhaps, to qualify him for a pension. In recent years, strokes and Parkinson's disease have been described as eroding Mr. Lindsay's once-athletic physique and taking a severe toll on his finances.
