Such smugness lacks imagination. The polls have Mrs. Clinton (not yet formally announced but house hunting in Westchester County and running hard) just about even with New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. She heads into upstate New York this week on a five-city swing (Oneonta, Utica, Syracuse, Albany, Cooperstown). But forget early polls. Over time, all great stories are subject to transformation, surprise, sudden unexpected bloom...
...police brutality case that shocked New York City -- and threatened to complicate Mayor Rudolph Giuliani?s bid for national office -- has come to a close with another major conviction. On Tuesday, a jury found officer Charles Schwarz guilty of beating and holding down Abner Louima, a black Haitian arrestee, as another officer violently sodomized Louima with a broomstick in a station house bathroom. That other officer, Justin Volpe, pleaded guilty to the assault last month in the face of overwhelming evidence and the corroborating testimony of four fellow officers. Schwarz and Volpe, both white, could now face life in prison...
...pranced around the precinct house with the blood-and-feces-stained stick, inviting other cops to examine it. And suppose the victim had not made the headline-grabbing (though phony) allegation that his tormentors had exulted, "This is Giuliani time!"--a reference to the city's tough-talking Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. There would be a good chance that we would never have heard of Louima and that Volpe would still be patrolling his beat in Brooklyn. Instead Volpe, 27, pleaded guilty last week in federal court to an act of police brutality so sadistic that it cracked "the blue wall...
...Congress is up for grabs, as well as influence over the nominations of several Supreme Court justices. Nowhere is the urgency of the moment played up more than in New York, where the upcoming Senate race has already become a celebrity death match of sorts. Hillary Clinton and Rudolph Giuliani may as well announce their intentions to run for the Democratic and Republican senatorial nominations, respectively, because they have been in the race for quite a while already...
...Nation doesn't have problems to fight back against. Since Rudolph Giulani was elected mayor of New York city, crime has decreased by 40 percent but police brutality in the same time period has increased by 60 percent, and 80 percent of the victims of this police brutality are people of color. Anthony Baez was murdered by the NYPD--he asphyxiated when an officer threw him to the ground in a choke hold after Baez had argued with the police for accosting his brother. The police warned Baez's mother to stay away from the Nation, but she ignored them...
