...snagging that corner office and the big house on Elmwood, think about that L word: legacy. Remember Radcliffe's leader in the Forties and Fifties, Wilbur Jordan? Seventeen years in office, and all he got were some lousy tract houses on Shepard Street named after him. Nathan Pusey got a pile of books stored underground. If Rudy doesn't snag the Memorial Hall Tower, I say grab it. Or how about the Fineberg Forest? Start brainstorming, Harvey. A presidency is a terrible thing to waste...
...Nathan Glazer, the Harvard sociologist, takes a different, less admiring view. "The mute memorial is all around us," writes Glazer in The Public Interest; and the most successful of them, the Vietnam Memorial, "does not tell us that [those killed] died for their country, or for liberty, or for democracy, or even that they died in vain. It says nothing except that they died." We may speak to the memorials, says Glazer, but they no longer speak clearly to us. Modern art has replaced excessive clarity with none...
...reporting on Giuliani's private life. Hanover chose not to appear at his side when he won re-election in 1997, and she didn't show up at a city hall event for two years, but no one belabored the obvious. Giuliani stopped wearing his wedding ring; he brought Nathan to the Times Square millennium bash on Dec. 31 and the St. Patrick's Day Parade in March, but the press reported nothing about her. So the mayor has no right to complain about the "salacious" media. He brought the trouble on himself, mostly by his treatment of Hanover. Simply...
...been weirdly reasonable. He has mused about the meaning of life. He has patiently explained that he doesn't know whether he can fight cancer and run for the Senate against Hillary Clinton. Even after the New York Post ran pictures of him leaving a restaurant with Judith Nathan, a pharmaceuticals executive who in the past year has often been seen at his side, Giuliani remained calm. He called Nathan "a very good friend." The nature of that friendship became clearer a few days later, when a gray, shaken Giuliani announced that he and his wife Donna Hanover would...
...justify the way they fight, U.S. Military Officers are fond of quoting Confederate general Nathan Forrest's admonition to "git thar fustest with the mostest." But increasingly, even Army generals agree they have been emphasizing the "mostest" at the expense of the "fustest." The Army has a cold war hangover: the war machines of a U.S. armored division tip the scales at 300,000 tons. It took the molasses-like movement of the Army's AH-64 Apache helicopters to Albania during last year's Kosovo conflict to make planners publicly admit this is no way to fight...
