Person of the Week THE MAYOR FOR E'ER? RUDOLPH GIULIANI, New York City's mayor, won over even his most ardent foes with his crisis management ability, focused calm and unfeigned compassion. Now a grassroots campaign has sprung up to make him stay on, despite laws prohibiting a third term...

Giuliani of New York asked his fellow citizens to return to work. The stock market has opened and professional athletes have taken the field. Perhaps we accepted the decree a bit too quickly at Harvard—one day of mourning could have probably fit the schedule without creating chaos...
