Fortunately, while Clinton was making her worst mistakes, she was running against a distracted Mayor Rudy Giuliani, whose negatives were as high as hers and who played out his marital crisis on the 6 o'clock news. When Giuliani finally dropped out to fight prostate cancer, the Rottweiler was replaced by a puppy dog named Rick Lazio from Long Island, a four-term Congressman with a picture-perfect family who had nursed his father through a stroke. He reminded some, physically at least, of a young Dan Quayle with brains. He was so frisky at a Memorial Day parade, trying...
...country is watching the season premiere of "Frasier" and debating the relative merits of various politicians, New Yorkers will be settling in for a historic bout. And, just as a note of caution to outsiders, we'll probably be pretty self-satisfied no matter what the outcome. Mayor Giuliani, a Yankees fan, has already promised the winning team a ticker-tape parade down the city's Canyon of Heroes...
When he declared his candidacy in May, after New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani bowed out, the little-known Lazio was immediately tied with Clinton in the polls. But in September, as Al Gore's campaign took off, Clinton crept into the lead, and some reporters who follow Lazio took to calling him the Incredible Shrinking Candidate. He has a lot in common with Bush. Both men have been trying to shake the idea that they are too slight for the jobs they seek. Both hope that attacking their opponents' character will propel them to victory. And both have stumbled...

Clinton raked in about $3.5 million during the same time period - and it's testimony to these campaigns' stratospheric finances that such a gigantic number sounds slightly pathetic...
...famous crime buster hails from a family of crooks. Rudy's deceased father Harold was convicted of burglary at 15 and armed robbery at 26; he went on to be a baseball-bat-wielding debt collector for Rudy's uncle Leo D'Avanzo, a "petty mafioso" loan shark. For Giuliani, who may not have known about his father's imprisonment (he won't comment but hasn't disputed Barrett's account), this has been one lousy year so far--which may have moved Hillary to offer him some kind words last week. "Anyone feels empathy toward any person...
