Cyrus Vance Wins Manhattan D.A. Primary

This week, Cyrus Vance defeated his opponents, Richard Aborn and Leslie Crocker Snyder, to secure the Democratic Party nomination for District Attorney of New York County; with no Republican opponent in the general election, he has all but secured the position currently held by long-time DA Robert Morgenthau.  Here is a roundup of news reports about Vance's election and the changes he intends to bring to the office: NY1, New York Times, New York Post, Daily News (plus the questionnaire Vance submitted to the News), and the Associated Press.  (LC)
