Only two weeks into his presidency he compiled three pages of self-instruction demanding that he be "Compassionate, Bold, New, Courageous," that he show "Zest for the job" and be seen as "not lonely, but awesome...

During her eight years heading the U.S. attorney's office for Manhattan, the Bronx and six counties north of the city, White has faced off against everyone from international terrorists to Mafia hit men. Most have suffered under White's prosecutorial zest, including Marc Rich and his partner Pincus Green, who were initially prosecuted by then-U.S. attorney Rudy Giuliani but were pursued vigorously during White's tenure as well...
