in a clear, straight way that he'll understand..

However, by the end of his second term, his polls were lagging, and his legacy was about

to be “the mayor who cleaned up New York City”, but then…

“So this looks like it is some sort of concerted effort to attack the World Trade Center.”

Pettypiece: And that's when he moved from being Daily News, New York Post cover famous,

OPRAH: He’s the mayor of New York City -- Rudy Giuliani!

Kirtzman: He was time magazine’s person of the year, he was a natural presidential

GIULIANI: I believe we can hand our nation to the next generation, better than it was

And the GOP nomination was there for the taking.

Kirtzman: He was far and away more popular, and also better known than his republican

TOM BROKAW: Joe Biden had one of the best lines of the campaign when he said...
