When it comes to press relations, the polished Clinton might seem to have a natural advantage over the mercurial mayor, but Giuliani deals with New York reporters every day, albeit icily; Hillary deals with them not at all. "The New York media being what they are," says Bill Cunningham, who ran Moynihan's last campaign, "they would be looking for new ways to bring up old questions." How would Hillary hold up under scrutiny into Filegate, Travelgate, Whitewater, her commodities trades, to say nothing of inquiries about her marriage? On recent p.r.-friendly trips, she has frozen up when reporters...
...state--a "third way," a progressive politics that hews neither to the left nor right and marries compassion with responsibility. Clinton's education agenda--accountability and school choice but not vouchers--fits the mold. The trouble is that it looks too much like the moderate conservatism practiced by Giuliani and George W. Bush. Clinton's fight for survival hasn't allowed him to highlight differences with G.O.P. centrists; he has more effectively defined himself against far-right zealotry. That leaves the task to Gore and Hillary. A Hillary campaign could help forge a guiding agenda for the post-Clinton...
...will she or won't she? Maybe it is better to ask whether she should. "She may be the only person in the country," Torricelli says, "who can contribute to the national debate simply by entering a race." A Clinton-Giuliani matchup is tantalizing in part because, at its best, it would engage people in a way politics is seldom capable of doing these days. In 1964, on the night he won the U.S. Senate seat in New York, Bobby Kennedy quoted Tennyson: "Come my friends,/'Tis not too late to seek a better world." That sort of belief...
Lord's boss, Rudy Giuliani, would no doubt agree. He was in his first term when he found his son Andrew, then 7, playing Sim City. Andrew had placed police stations on every street corner. The crime rate was zero. Giuliani Sr. watched, fascinated, and began making suggestions on taxation, zoning and so forth. Finally, Andrew wheeled around. "Dad," he told the mayor of New York, "this is my city...
Anderson says the heavy-handed tactics police employ to control the violence only make things worse, because they convince the vast majority of law-abiding inner-city residents that cops are the enemy. Unfortunately, too many people--and too many politicians, such as New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani--have not made the connection. As Hugh Price of the National Urban League puts it, even poor people have "a right to be protected by the police, not be preyed on by them." Until the cops figure that out, it will be open season on black...
