...York state laws have left Giuliani with but one reasonable option for the future: to accept the sub-mayoral administrative post that mayoral candidates such as Fernando Ferrer have offered him.

Just as you get interested in one, Stephen Gaghan's script, inspired by a British mini-series, jerks you away to another...
