Rudolph W. Giuliani

I like this man. Do you suppose some spotless  missionary with out 2 cents to rub together would be well recieved as Mayor of New York City?   Rudolph made lots of money in the Financial markets. I would point out. Such is perfectly legal to do. But the real strength iof this man was his so called DROP IN THE BUCKET CHANGES  he tried to introduce. And in fact he did introduce.  Called a liberal because he did away with many nickel  and dime   thorns that served no purpose except to Harrass New York Businessmen. These so called "drops in the bucket" were in ... Read Full Story

But, he argues, he did not suddenly become a great leader on September 11, and “had been doing [my] best to take on challenges my whole career.” The bulk of the book draws on his experiences as a corporate lawyer and U.S. attorney and then as mayor.
