...young, she is single, and she moved to Manhattan to find success, love and happiness in the big city. You might say she is a cosmopolitan girl, but as it turns out, she is actually the Gentlemen's Quarterly type. This month the GQ editors named Maria Cuomo, 23, one of the 20 most eligible and "unalterably ideal ladies" on either coast of the U.S. "It's great fun," says the New York Governor's daughter, who was delighted to be chosen along with the likes of Singer-Actress Michelle Phillips and MTV Video Jockey Nina Blackwood. Cuomo...
...bureaucracy. But he had also inadvertently focused new attention on Iacocca as a potential presidential candidate. Although Iacocca votes independently, Democrats would love to claim him as their own. A Washington Post-ABC News poll last week showed him running only slightly behind New York Governor Mario Cuomo among Democrats for President, while both trailed Colorado Senator Gary Hart. But Iacocca insisted again last week that he has no presidential ambitions and that his resolve had been "put in concrete" by the week's events. He complained that politics "repulses me every time I get involved" and that Washington thrives...
Many political observers feel that New York Democratic Governor Mario Cuomo's 68.4% approval rating, national stature and $8 million campaign chest make him all but invincible as he prepares to run for re-election this year.

But skeptics, mainly Democrats, doubted that the diplomat turned high-priced consultant is cut out for local politics or the rigors of the campaign trail. As Cuomo told the New York Times: "I know more about Buffalo than Beirut. Dr. Kissinger would be the other side of the coin." But could he beat the great global strategist? Yes, said the Governor, by "at least one vote...
Bush's broadside seemed to be a deliberate misreading of recent remarks by Cuomo, who had expressed irritation at "increasing references to my ethnicity" and at speculation that an Italian American could not be elected President. Cuomo followed Bush's punch with a counterpunch. "There are few things more amusing in the world of politics," said he, "than watching moderate Republicans charging to the right in pursuit of greater glory." As if on cue, Bush headed back to Washington, where he endorsed prayer in public schools and "the sanctity of human life" as keynote speaker at the Liberty Federation...
