Reasons for doing so:
-I like the username TheFutterwacken better than this one.
-I use this username for all my accounts on websites (such as fanfiction, quizilla), so I want to be consistent.
-Most of my artwork here is very outdated and instead of deleting everything, I want to start anew on a different account instead.
If you're already watching me/on my friends list or haven't watched me yet and wish to, feel free to add me on my new account, as I will no longer be posting any artwork here.

9 plead guilty in recorded beating at Buffalo park
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Nine teenagers have pleaded guilty in connection with the beating of a 66-year-old city of Buffalo employee that was caught on video.
The Buffalo News reported Monday that six of the defendants face up to seven years in prison. The other three are juveniles and face up to 18 months in a juvenile delinquent facility.
The teenagers were arrested in June after the release of a cellphone video of the attack.
Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita III says James LeGrand was trying to stop two girls from fighting when he was knocked to the ground and punched and kicked. He suffered cuts and bruises.

Living up to ideals is like doing everyday work with your Sunday clothes on.Edgar Watson Howe
It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched, for they are full of the truthless ideals which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real they are bruised and wounded.William Somerset Maugham
In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival.Noam Chomsky
Journalists are like whores; as high as their ideals may be, they still have to resort to tricks to make moneyPierce Thorne
We never reach our ideals, whether of mental or moral improvement, but the thought of them shows us our deficiencies, and spurs us on to higher and better thingsTryon Edwards
There is nothing the matter with Americans except their ideals. The real American is all right; it is the ideal American who is all wrong.G. K. Chesterton
Ideals are an imaginative understanding of that which is desirable in that which is possible.Walter Lippmann
The men and women who have the right ideals ... are those who have the courage to strive for the happiness which comes only with labor and effort and self-sacrifice, and those whose joy in life springs in part from power of work and sense of duty.Theodore Roosevelt
Don't sacrifice your life to work and ideals. The most important things in life are human relations. I found that out too late.Katharine Susannah Prichard 1883
Ideals are great arrows, but there has to be a bow. And politics is the bow of idealism.Bill Moyers
All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened.Hermann Hesse
The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully have been kindness, beauty, and truthAlbert Einstein
Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny.Carl Schurz
A world community can only exist with world communication, which means something more than extensive software facilities scattered about the globe. It means common understanding, a common tradition, common idea's and common ideals.Robert M. Hutchins
We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.Harold Nicolson
Our ideals, like the gods of old, are constantly demanding human sacrifices.George Bernard Shaw
Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you reach your destiny.Carl Schurz
The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals of American society.Robert Francis Kennedy
Goals are not dreamy, pie-in-the-sky ideals. They have every day practical applications and they should be practical.Les Brown
The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth ... The trite subjects of human efforts - possessions, outward success, luxury - have always seemed to me contemptible.Albert Einstein 1879
Our ideals resemble the stars, which illuminate the night. No one will ever be able to touch them. But the men who, like the sailors on the ocean, take them for guides, will undoubtedly reach their goal.Carl Schurz

You don't really know someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes.
That mantra is at the center of Andrew Jenks' acclaimed documentary series for MTV, World of Jenks, which will return for a second season March 4. In 10, hour-long episodes, Jenks will follow three individuals struggling with difficult – and topical – problems over the course of a year. This season will focus on autism (with season one participant Chad continuing to show his day-to-day life), as well as a woman, Kaylin, dealing with cancer and D-Real, a dancer and Oakland resident who recently lost his brother to gun violence.

<<Back to 2008 News Releases
Date: February 27, 2008Contact: Lowell Hassler (406) 538-1909
The Bureau of Land Management's Lewistown Field Office (BLM) will soon be hosting an informational meeting/open house during the early stages of preparing an environmental assessment involving public lands in the Little Snowy, Snowy and Little Belt Mountains, including Chippewa and McDonalds Creeks.
The meeting/open house will be on February 28, at the Lewistown Field Office (920 NE Main Street), and the environmental assessment will evaluate rangeland health standards and grazing management actions associated with 10-year grazing permit renewals on public lands. In addition, pertinent associated issues, such as weed and forest management, will be discussed.
The open house portion of the day will begin around 10:30 a.m. with livestock grazing permit holders coming into the office throughout the day to discuss their particular allotment(s). The open house will conclude around 5:00 p.m.
If you have questions about this meeting/open house please contact Lowell Hassler, Project Lead at 538-1909.

The unforgettable archway
The archway emblazed with "Bemidji State University" formally welcomes visitors to campus and becomes an unforgettable campus spot for students as well as alumni. With its miniature "monk scholars" on either side of the archway, the entrance not only welcomes visitors but also bids farewell to soon-to-be graduates as they parade under the arch on their way to commencement ceremonies.
Newly remodeled and expanded Bridgeman Hall has added a beautiful new spot to mingle outside. The pergola offers a great place for students and faculty to stop and socialize in the sunny courtyard. As you take in the expansive lake scenes from the lower union of Hobson Memorial Union, be sure to view the historical mural portraying BSU students across the ages. The mural is just outside the bookstore in the lower union.
There are many places to escape and relax around campus, including under a number of shade trees along the Lake Bemidji shoreline. The newly updated Diamond Point Park, home to an important Native American archaeological site, a swimming beach and picnic shelters, provides a particularly scenic getaway for students. The Outdoor Program Center will also operate a beachside rental office at the park.
An interesting architectural feature has always been the David and Wanda Park House, across the street from the library. On the National Register of Historic Places, the structure is one of the few residential examples of the Streamline Moderne style in Minnesota. This bold, two-story, poured-concrete house appearing as though it's shaped like a piano is now home to the BSU Foundation.
Flip-flops and T's anytime
BSU is a northern school, so winter is a particularly beautiful time to be on campus and near the lake. Students cross country and downhill ski, snowboard, fish, snowmobile, ice skate, play broomball and try their hand at curling. Yes, curling. Check it out. Many members of the U.S. Olympic Curling team have connections to BSU. Not a fan of winter? Don't let the cold and snow scare you. At BSU, almost every building is connected by underground walkways, where you'll see students wearing flip-flops and t-shirts to class even on the coldest days.

This is an average casserole dish, nothing unusual, but no complaints. I have seen a casserole dish of this size cheaper elsewhere, but this one was a reasonably good price and does the job.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

There are no illegitimate children, there are only illegitimate parents.
How can a child be illegitimate? And who are the illegitimate parents? - not necessarily those who are not married. Any child who is not born of love makes the parents illegitimate. Whether they are married or not is irrelevant - but the child certainly is never illegitimate.

One of my favorite pictures from Coachella got noticed by Planet Blue (bikini on the right is PB), and they felt the need to let us know my best friend looks hot in their bikini, while my booty is apparently looking good for 26. I'll take it!
Paul graduated from UCLA law school and this picture hardly does any justice to the excitement and pride we all have about it. Congratulations, Paul!!!
My mom recently gave me my baby book and after reading it cover-to-cover I am now fully aware why I have this borderline crazy obsession with her. It was both comedic and endearing reading my 22-year old mother's thoughts while raising me and I could not be more thrilled to have that book in my possession now.
Lastly, having my measurements taken by Galia Lahav herself for my wedding dress was beyond the most amazing experience. I am so excited to share pictures of this phenomenal dress I have picked…if only I didn't have to wait another YEAR to do it!!

The D'Autremont Train Robbery
On October 11, 1923, three young brothers attempt to rob a train carrying mail across the country. They botch the job entirely by using too much dynamite, blowing up everything of value and killing four people. The ensuing manhunt was one of the most elaborate investigations in American history. Their dangerous quest for gold helped to spawn modern criminal forensics.

.- The captain of the Milan soccer team Inter, Javier "Pupi" Zanetti, said this week, 'I firmly believe that without Christ, man cannot live in fullness."
After this week's Wednesday General Audience, at which Pope Benedict XVI greeted the soccer players from the Milan team and emphasized "the importance of moral values in sports in order to educate young people," Zanetti gave the Pope an official Milan jersey with his name "Benedetto XVI" on the back.
"I have been a practicing Catholic since I was child," Zanetti said. "The blessing of the Pope is another reason for us to understand our role as Christian witnesses, in our families, in sports, and our duty to help the less fortunate, especially children," he told the AICA news agency.
"This has been an important day, this visit has been very emotional, and to shake the Pope's hand is one of those things you remember forever," Zanetti said. The team captain, together with his wife, directs the PUPI Foundation, which is dedicated to "returning faith, dignity and hope to children and their families who have social problems."
The soccer players also gave the Pope an official Inter fan club gold card, a black and blue medallion—the team's colors—a white medallion with a red cross, and an official book on the history of the soccer team.

CHAPEL HILL -- Officials with the Chapel Hill Transit System will soon decide whether a controversial advertisement can run on its bus system.
The debate sparked when the Church of Reconciliation in Chapel Hill ran an ad on the bus system stating: End U.S. military aid to Israel.
Now the American Freedom Defense Initiative has put in a request of its own.
"This is deeply upsetting and I would expect that the residents of Chapel Hill would be up in arms, no matter what their position on the subject is," said Pamela Geller, executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative. "They ran the anti-Israel ads, they're going to run my ads."
The AFDI said it's only fair their ad is posted for the six month period they requested. They believe it comes down to a matter of free speech and that both sides should have an equal opportunity to be presented.
"We will protect and defend the First Amendment all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to," Geller said.
Meanwhile, the town council held a public forum about the possibility of scaling back its policy on ads, limiting the advertisements to those free of political or religious-based messages.
The ads were implemented about a year ago as a way to generate additional revenue for the transit that's free to riders.
"We're currently reviewing it and once we've completed that review we'll address specific concerns and any shortcomings that it may have as it relates to the standards and policies that have been adopted by council," said Brian Litchfield, asst. transit director of Chapel Hill Transit.
Officials said a decision from staffers could come down within the next several days.

My first post on Jan. 8, 2010, was about Sebastian's viola teacher using Tic Tac candy as a way to teach him vibrato. I'm not sure how many people read it – that was before I had any followers, and before I learned how to track stats about the blog. My most recent post, about my great-aunt Rosalie, was something that had been brewing in my head for a couple of years, and writing it was extremely rewarding. It already has been viewed more than 80 times.
|Me after my presentation on G. Oliver at the history museum in St. Cloud in November.
The most-viewed one, by far, is one called Yo Yo Ma, Meryl Streep and the Genesis of a Musician. I think it attracted attention mainly because of the two famous people mentioned in the title; I'm not sure many of those viewers read it all the way through.
What means way more to me than the numbers, however, are the people behind them. I truly appreciate the interest and feedback from all of you who've been reading. It's the motivation behind what I do – I want to share my thoughts and reflections with others because that's how I grow and learn, and how I make sense of my journey into the life of my great-grandfather, G. Oliver Riggs.
One of the aspects of blogging I really appreciate is its immediacy. As a newspaper reporter, I had to wait until the next morning to see my stories in print, and then I had no idea whether anyone had read them. Now, I can send these stories out into the world from my laptop and get feedback minutes later, without ever involving a publisher or an editor (although an editor would certainly be helpful at times, especially now as my 43-year-old eyes seem to be failing me).
My intent in starting the blog was to figure out whether all my research into G. Oliver's life could translate into a book. I knew I could research forever and still leave some loose ends; it was time to start writing, and make some sense of what I already had.
Since I started blogging, I have never lacked for topics. A trip to Crookston in June with my parents, and a family vacation in October to Civil War battlefields yielded a wealth of material, as did the Vintage Band Festival, held in August in Northfield.
It's still my hope to write a book based on the connections I've made between G. Oliver's life and mine. Now that the year is almost up, I plan to take some time in January to evaluate where I've been, and where I'd like to go.
I'd like to publicly thank my friend Randy for starting me on this journey, and for being my sounding board throughout the experience. I'd also like to thank my husband Steve for his unfailing support, my parents William and Anne for their assistance and unbiased (!) praise, my cousin Kristina for being my unofficial publicist, my friend and blogger Myrna for inspiring me, and other family members and friends who've been so encouraging and interested.
I look forward to another remarkable year. And as always, I welcome your comments, thoughts and feedback. Happy 2011!

After not being seen on TV since her surprise entry in January's Royal Rumble and subsequent tragic family news, Kharma has resurfaced on the scene, courtesy of a news report on Las Vegas TV about Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling.
Many wrestlers, past and present are in town for the Cauliflower Alley Club reunion, of which Kharma is a regular attendee, as well as GLOW's Angelina "Little Egypt" Altishin, who discussed the seminars she is holding there on social media and life after wrestling in our most recent Women Of Wrestling Podcast, which you listen to by clicking here. While in Vegas, KLAS-TV managed to secure a few minutes with Kharma – naming her as Tia Stevens, rather than her real name of Kia Stevens – to discuss the season 5 tapings, and grab her thoughts on watching GLOW:
Coming to Vegas as a kid, I wanted to see GLOW. It was all about GLOW. And I said 'we have to go to the Riviera [hotel], because that's where GLOW is.'
Also included in the report are a few clips from Little Egypt herself, as well as Lisa "Tina Ferrari" Moretti, AKA former 3-time WWF Women's Champion Ivory, who described her payoffs while as a GLOW girl:
Working every single day… for $400 a week – yeah, big bucks!
To our knowledge, Sara Del Rey, Buggy and Taeler Hendrix were part of the tapings yesterday, though results have yet to surface. However, you can see the report, as well as check out some clips from our interview with Little Egypt by clicking after the jump – you can also find more clips from previous WOW Podcasts at our YouTube channel, as well as video interviews and fun clips.


text: Brazilian Grand Prix has been a second home race for Ferrari over the years 20 November, 2013 Felipe Massa of Brazil and Ferrari celebrate winning the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix The Brazilian Grand Prix has become something of a home race for Scuderia Ferrari. From 2000 to today, with the exception of the 2009 edition of the race, a Brazilian driver has been at the wheel of a car with the famous Prancing Horse badge on its side. From 2000 to 2005, it was Rubens Barrichello who faced the task of defending Ferrari colours and from the following year onwards the honour and duty has been in the hands of Felipe Massa. The latter has definitely enjoyed more success here than his predecessor and friend: twice, in 2006 and 2008, Felipe triumphed at Interlagos, as well as making two further trips to the podium in 2007 and 2013, while being fastest on the Saturday afternoon three times. Rubens' results were very different, as he only saw the chequered flag twice, making it to the third step of the podium, just the once – in 2004, when he took a second consecutive pole position at his home track. The Brazilian suffered an incredible series of technical failures in the race that meant the most to him: the most resounding one was the problem with the fuel metre which saw him run out of fuel in the F2003-GA when he was leading the race by a comfortable margin. Kimi Raikkonen celebrates victory and his F1 World Championship triumph after the 2007 Brazilian GP Interlagos was also the scene of one the nicest and most exciting wins in the history of the Scuderia. In 2007, the one-two finish from Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa saw the Finn take the World title, which just two races earlier looked almost impossible, given that Hamilton had a 17 point lead over him. That day there were mighty celebrations in the red garage for what is currently its last win in the Drivers' Championship. Seven Ferrari drivers have won this grand prix. Apart from the previously mentioned Massa and Raikkonen, in reverse chronological order they are Michael Schumacher (2000 and 2002), Alain Prost (1990), Nigel Mansell (1989), Carlos Reutemann (1977 and 1978) and Niki Lauda (1976.) There have been a total of 26 podium finishes: along with the ten wins there have been seven seconds and nine third places. Seven is also the number of poles, of which five go to the Maranello Brazilians – three for Massa, two for Barrichello – with the other two being down to Schumacher in 2000 and Alboreto in 1985. Michael Schumacher won the 2002 Brazilian GP The Brazilian Grand Prix is one of the few races at which victory has eluded Fernando Alonso. The man from Oviedo has however been on the podium seven times, with three second places and four thirds, from eleven starts in this race, but more importantly, he clinched both his title crowns here. In 2005, Fernando finished third right behind Raikkonen's McLaren, his rival for that year's title, thus becoming Champion with two races in hand. The following year, he had to wait for the final race to get the better of Schumacher. In Interlagos, the Spaniard was second behind Felipe, controlling Michael's spectacular climb back up the order, as he went from last to fourth in the race that marked his first farewell to Formula 1. We are now preparing for another farewell, that of Felipe Massa who leaves Ferrari after this race. This weekend sees the Brazilian take part in his 139th and final race of his romance in red: only Michael Schumacher has taken part in more. The wins are fixed at eleven for now, the last one coming right at Interlagos back in 2008: it would be the realisation of a dream to turn that into twelve this weekend. Almost impossible according to this season's statistics, in which Vettel's Red Bull seems to have become unbeatable and Ferrari seems to be struggling more and more. However, Formula 1 is a sport and, as such, open to surprises, even the most unimaginable ones. Why not dream of such a beautiful finale for a driver who, without a doubt, is part of the Prancing Horse's history. (Ferrari) Subbed by AJN.

Rudy Rules!
The Lost Son: A Life in Pursuit of Justice
When the time came to let William Bratton know that he had overplayed his part as the city's top cop, unnamed members of Rudolph Giuliani's inner circle put on worried faces and confided to reporters that the corpora-tion counsel needed to check out the $300,000 book contract the police commissioner had just signed in order to make sure it complied with the city's rigorous ethical standards. The plain implication was that there might be something troubling about a public official finding time to cash in on his performance in a job he had not left.
What was really troubling, it soon became clear, was less the theoretical possibility of a conflict of interest in the line of duty than the self-promotion of a striver: Bratton was obviously not going to be content to let his boss claim full credit for the stunning drop in violent crime he had helped to engineer. Before the corporation counsel got around to ruling on his book deal, Bratton got the message and stepped down. (When his book finally appeared, Bratton had been in the wilderness for two years, crime rates had continued to drop, and Giuliani had been reelected, so the challenge implicit in its chest-thumping subtitle, How America's Top Cop Reversed the Crime Epidemic, hardly registered.) But we now know what the corporation counsel concluded: on September 11, 2001, as the hijacked airliners headed for Lower Manhattan, both the mayor and the last of his three police commissioners had been under contract for books for half a year, in routine communion with their muses and hired writers.
Inevitably, what happened in the next few hours and days redefined their lives, careers, and the stories they were to tell. The topless towers had burned and they were now characters in an epic with the mayor cast as hero. Suddenly the Giuliani story for which Tina Brown and Harvey Weinstein had put up nearly $3 million in a two-book contract earlier in the year had a new emotional center. No longer would it pivot on his cascading and very public epiphanies in the spring of 2000 when, facing prostate cancer and the danger of banishment to a one-hundred-member legislative chamber in another city, he discovered his mortality and true love. Now, tempered by those experiences or rising above them, he had stepped beyond his own story to find the words of grief and steadfastness that his assaulted city needed to hear. He seemed, in those days, omnipresent and tireless, focused and noble, an exemplary public man (until, overcome by exertion and praise, he relapsed into self-centeredness and broke the spell by proposing that his term be extended beyond its statutory end).
Imagine the urgent sense of opportunity the publishers and hired writers felt when they were able again to consider their projects and realized that, somehow, September 11 had to be grafted onto outlines and manuscripts that had been conceived before anyone could have foreseen the huge, flaming finale of the Giuliani years.
The first of the two books to which the mayor had committed himself was to have been a manual on leadership, the kind of book that basketball coaches and baseball managers have been known to write as a ticket to lucrative off-season earnings for speaking to conferences of corporate managers. It is a genre that includes such titles as The Winner Within by Pat Riley, late of the Knicks, now of the Miami Heat; Success Is a Choice: Ten Steps to Overachieving in Business and Life, by Rick Pitino, formerly of the Boston Celtics; Leading with the Heart: Coach K's Successful Strategies for Basketball, Business, and Life by Duke University's Mike Krzyzewski; and Joe Torre's Ground Rules for Winners by the Yankees' manager. Rudolph Giuliani's Leadership shows every sign of having been constructed with the same purpose, that of providing a platform for a dependable income from speeches before anyone had imagined that he could command the $100,000 an appearance that he has reportedly received in the aftermath of September 11. To this end the mayor teamed up not with a political writer but with a sharp, young personal finance commentator, Ken Kurson, the author of a "how to" book for investors described on its cover as "A No B.S. Money Book for Your Twenties and Thirties."
Bernard Kerik, the last of Giuliani's three police commissioners, made his book deal just six months after he was elevated to the job and only a few weeks after the mayor had made his. He had had an unusual career as a soldier, a bodyguard to Saudi royalty, an undercover narcotics detective, and a prisons commissioner under the mayor he loyally served, but this seemed the stuff of a rĂŠsumĂŠ rather than a memoir. After consulting with his publisher, Judith Regan, he resolved to build his book around an excruciating and unexplored part of a difficult childhood, the violent death of his wayward mother in Ohio in 1964, five years after she had vanished from her son's life. Whatever it would do in the way of a catharsis for Kerik personally, it would supply his narrative with an emotional frame that it otherwise lacked.
So, ordering up what he called an investigation into a thirty-seven-year-old homicide that had apparently never been investigated, he sent two New York officers to Ohio, supposedly on their own time. (After leaving office, Kerik paid a relatively lenient fine of $2,500 levied by the city's Conflicts of Interest Board, acknowledging that the officers had made five trips to Ohio to do research for his book, that some of their work was done on city time, and that it had been a conflict of interest for him to ask them to perform this proxy excavation into his past.) Kerik himself made only one trip to Ohio, in August 2001, just a few weeks before the manuscript was completed. He doesn't tell us whether Jess Walter, his hired writer (the author of Over Tumbled Graves, a mystery), went along. But he does say he finished reading the last chapter in the early hours of September 11.
The problem of how to build accounts of the events of that day into two expository artifacts that were already somewhat rickety is handled most expediently in Kerik's book with a thirty-six-page epilogue thickened with another thirty-two pages of glossy photographs from Ground Zero. The commissioner (now in private life with Giuliani Partners, the former mayor's consulting group) tells where he went hour by headlong hour, what he saw through billowing gray ash, and what he thought when he had a chance to reflect on the turmoil of those days. The epilogue provides a serviceable account of remarkable events and the publisher got the book into the shops in less than three months, an early entry in the September 11 sweepstakes even though it was mostly about something else. So Kerik didn't have to wait to be a former commissioner to promote his book. By the time the Giuliani team left office at the year's end, it had already had its four weeks on the New York Times Best-Seller List.*
Retrofitting the Giuliani book shaped up as a bigger problem and, clearly, a much bigger opportunity. A management handbook is not the obvious vehicle for conveying something as rare as true grace under cataclysmic pressure. And Giuliani, it must be said, is not the best witness to what Giuliani accomplished. So nearly complete is his identification with his city that he comes close to imagining in the first frenzied hours that it is the Giuliani administration and family that might be under attack rather than the citadels of American power in the world. Considering City Hall "a likely target," he had put his command center at 7 World Trade Center, on the twenty-third floor, ignoring the fact that the adjacent World Trade Center had been shown to be a target for Islamic terrorists in the 1993 bombing. Now, with 7 World Trade Center tottering, he ruled out Police Headquarters as a replacement command center. It was also "a potential target." Gracie Mansion was "a possible target." His estranged wife and his children might be targets and therefore needed to be evacuated to New Jersey. He ordered extra security for Judith Nathan, the woman in his life for more than a year. "I thought those attacking our city might go after her," he says.
Wild thoughts and fears for loved ones were rushing through millions of minds in these same awful moments. Yet even before Giuliani had located a command center nondescript enough in his judgment to be unlikely as a target, even before he had settled his own racing imagination, he acted on the need to assert that "the leaders of the city were alive and in control." He first spoke to the city before the second tower collapsed; he was on the air again within half an hour. He emphasized only what he knew: the scale and horror of the loss, the need to head north and evacuate Lower Manhattan, the need for calm. He did not give voice to his private fears that hostages might be taken, that Manhattan's tunnels and bridges might be next on the list of targets, that the United Nations or Statue of Liberty might be hit, that "individual bombings" (presumably, he means suicide bombings by individuals) were now to be expected. He did not dwell on his own close scrapes in the area of the disaster or the many people he personally knew who had perished. ("There was no time to spend actually experiencing an emotion," he tells us.) He spoke for the larger community, mourning its loss, and he came across as appalled yet measured, shaken yet brave.
He would have us believe that he was able to do all this because he had been working on this book for months and, therefore, his hard-won principles of leadership were clear in his mind. For this he credits the divinity, not Miramax. "It was as if God had provided an opportunity to design a course in leadership just when I needed it most," he says. If that is not an expression of faith, it's at least a literary conceit that helps connect September 11 to the manual. The chapter on the attack starts the book; another chapter on the recovery ends it. In between are fourteen chapters organized around Giuliani's "rules" of leadership, which are illustrated by seemingly random reminiscences of incidents in his life and career that supposedly shaped his precepts.
There is no time line but references to September 11 have been basted into the manuscript at regular intervals. They come across not as a leitmotif so much as a tolling gong, reminding us that narrow issues of New York governance took on national significance and gave us a leader who now feels himself to be ready for any challenge. The Giuliani leadership manual bears some resemblance to Richard Nixon's Six Crises. It's part of a continuing campaign, and while the road ahead is anything but clear for a Republican who is pro-choice and favors gay rights, who endorsed Mario Cuomo and failed to run against Hillary Clinton, the fact that this disjointed and patchy book zoomed to the top of the best-seller list and became a fixture there suggests that there is an audience beyond his city that is prepared to accept him at his own estimate.
Another recruit to Giuliani Partners, the former fire commissioner Thomas Von Essen, has also produced a memoir: Strong of Heart: Life and Death in the Fire Department of New York (ReganBooks). Meanwhile, Commissioner Bratton, who entertained the idea of running for mayor in New York and then backed Democrat Mark Green in 2001 in hopes of being restored to his old office, has recently taken command of the Los Angeles police. ↩
