...still wants to help, and decides to run for mayor on the strength of his heroic reputation, beating Bloomberg in a landslide. But not all is well in Gotham. He’s soon forced to deal with a blizzard, a Giuliani-esque confrontation with idiotic city-funded art, and gay marriage rights. The only superheroics, in fact, occur during Mitchell’s flashbacks to his brief crime-fighting career and are generally played for comic relief. In one of the best anecdotes, he gets beaten up by the city’s tough female police commissioner as punishment...

When Kerik called the White House to tell them of the problem...

Clinton could face a formidable opponent when she comes up for re-election to the Senate in two years: both Governor George Pataki and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani are said to be considering a challenge. A loss would effectively terminate Clinton's presidential prospects. But even if she were to win, such a campaign would be a mammoth distraction and a serious drain on resources she would need for a presidential run. "In the end, I think...
