...book his days so fully that he never appears bogged down in scandal. Recent weeks have seen him planting flowers in Harpers Ferry, Va., talking to the Delaware assembly on education, discussing census sampling techniques at a Houston community center, dedicating a new institute at Walden Woods and studying tidal pools in Monterey, Calif. And, of course, raising money for Democrats almost everywhere. They now have a rich issue to add to their political war chests...

...millions of dollars more than Giuliani projects. Yet the mayor who squeezed the city's squeegee men is unlikely to give up his castle in the sky over a little ridicule.
