PERSON OF THE YEAR To capture Rudy Giuliani bestriding his beloved, altered skyline, photographer Gregory Heisler--who has shot seven previous People of the Year--wanted to set up on the roof of Rockefeller Center's General Electric Building. Unfortunately, the roof has been closed for years, insurance problems proliferated, and the weather would not cooperate. Heisler, at left, in hat, finally prevailed and built a wooden platform leading to a ledge hundreds of feet above the street. "Some of the mayor's security people were nervous for him," says Heisler. "But he just yelled, 'Wow!' and bounded...
TIME Nation editor Eric Pooley--who, to prepare for writing the POY cover story, talked with Giuliani for hours, toured ground zero with him and flew with him to Israel--also tracked him in the early '90s for New York magazine.

"Maybe the purpose of all this," New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said at a funeral for a friend, "is to find out if America today is as strong as when we fought for our independence or when we fought for ourselves as a Union to end slavery or as strong as our fathers and grandfathers who fought to rid the world of Nazism...
