Late last year, Rudy Giuliani was sitting in the library at Gracie Mansion, offering career advice to a visitor--billionaire media mogul Michael Bloomberg. The financial-data tycoon was thinking about changing jobs. Among the possibilities he'd been mulling: President of the United States, Secretary-General of the United Nations and--his top choice--mayor of New York City, and never mind that he had no experience in government. Giuliani could see he was serious about the third idea. A lifelong Democrat, Bloomberg intended to switch parties in order to have a clear shot at the Republican nomination. Giuliani...
...evidence as yet that the cause of the crash was terrorism. The plane's cockpit voice recorder was recovered at around 1 p.m. EST, and was sent immediately to the National Transportation Safety Board for analysis. "No one should speculate as to the cause of this crash," Mayor Giuliani warned during an afternoon news conference...

He said there had been no credible threats received today that indicated such an action might occur...

How? Both anthrax and flu exhibit strikingly similar symptoms--fever, chills and muscle aches--in the early days of the infection. Physicians would be quick to suspect anthrax in anyone who was vaccinated against...
...lead in the era of uncertainty? New York mayor Rudy Giuliani told the Fortune group that "what?s important about leadership is knowing that you?re right." The problem is, respect for freedom and democracy don?t do much for a company?s bottom line. And even if there were no terrorist threat, today?s world is too complicated and too global for know-it -all CEOs. Information moves too fast for anyone to juggle the demands of different cultures, currencies and markets - and keep shareholders happy: last year 22% of Fortune 500 chief executives were drummed out of office...
