Does Baltimore need a return to William Donald Schaefer's "do it now" approach or more of the cerebral but detached style of Kurt L. Schmoke? Or something else?

Send us your thoughts on the abilities, experience and %o management style Baltimore should seek in its next mayor, who will lead the city into the 21st century.

Letters should be no longer than 200 words and should include the name and address of the writer, along with day and evening telephone numbers.
