"There were doctors who were literally becoming millionaires," says Dr. Irving Rust, the medical director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in the South Bronx. "Anytime you have a situation where supply and demand is the main dynamic, it brings out the worst...

On weekends, and on a few weeknights as well, the Governor, Elvis-like, is sighted delivering well- crafted speeches in carefully targeted, delegate-rich states like Florida and Texas, and of course throughout the Rust Belt and in California. Cuomo's modified schedule reduces his exposure, thus limiting the chance for a blowup, which is always possible since the testy and easily tried Governor greets most mornings itching for a fight -- and usually gets...
