...York City, Ed Koch. Koch was elected three times not because voters trusted him or wanted their children to grow up to be like him, asserts Penn, but because he helped make sense of a confusing time.

In the latest abc News poll, 73% of voters say having a caring President who "understands the problems of people" is more important than having a President with the "highest personal character."

Whom could he be representing? The Wall Street Journal reported that Gandhi has close ties to an Indian political fund raiser who wants to expand India's business...

According to Stephen Gillers, a legal-ethics expert at New York University, Schiller's journalistic privilege could have shielded Kardashian as a source for the book--if he hadn't gone on abc's 20/20 and repeated many of the damaging revelations about Simpson.
