THE NEW MAYOR: Man in the News; Spiritual Reform Mayor: Rudolph William Giuliani
Date: 03 January 1994
By Todd S. Purdum
Todd Purdum
One day last spring, as Rudolph W. Giuliani ended a visit to Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Brooklyn, the crucible of discipline that shaped his world view and helped propel him into public life more than 30 years ago, he reflected on the changes in manners, mores and standards that have transformed the New York he once knew. Surveying a city in which the consuming educational debates centered on multiculturalism and condoms, the pressing public fear was collapse of order in the streets, and a million residents swelled the welfare rolls, he said, "I think one of the things that happened to us is we became so arrogant that we believed we could reconstruct everything."

It's that time of year again, the time when newspapers, magazines and television pundits exercise their First Amendment right to hazard semi-informed predictions about the coming 12 months -- just as Thomas Jefferson would have wanted. This particular column will narrow its focus to a subject of paramount importance to all: the media itself -- ourselves. Whatever. Will a supermarket tabloid get its hands on an embarrassing photo of a member of Britain's royal family? Signs point to yes. Will the coming premiere of a new Spike Lee movie prompt hand-wringing among editorialists? It is certain. Will ABC's White House correspondent, Brit Hume, ever smile on camera? Reply hazy, try again.

Cokie Roberts, Nina Totenberg and Linda Wertheimer

For the 14.7 million listeners of National Public Radio, Cokie Roberts, 50, Linda Wertheimer, 50, and Nina Totenberg, 49, are the Three Musketeers: gutsy, witty, informed reporters who break stories from inside the Washington political machine. As a troika they have succeeded in revolutionizing political reporting. Twenty years ago Washington journalism was pretty much a male game, like football and foreign policy. But along came demure Linda, delicately crashing onto the Presidential campaign press bus; then entered bulldozer Nina, with major scoops on Douglas Ginsberg and Anita Hill; and in came tart-tongued Cokie with her savvy Congressional reporting. A new kind of female punditry was born. Today the three are expanding their audiences by branching out into television. Roberts, in addition to her NPR wake-up stint on "Morning Edition," is the first regular female panelist to appear on "This Week," on ABC, and is Ted Koppel's frequent understudy on "Nightline." Wertheimer anchors NPR's flagship broadcast, "All Things Considered," but also makes appearances on the CBS Sunday talkfest "Face the Nation." And Totenberg, NPR's legal affairs correspondent, does commentary and reporting for ABC.

We had settled what we were. Now we were simply haggling over the price. It was one of those moments of cozy debasement that Washington specializes in, only this time the quid pro quo was more naked than usual.

News Media Vipers
Date: 02 January 1994
To the Editor: To those who believed that news coverage of the 1992 Presidential election was slanted against George Bush, I would suggest it is now evident that the news media do not play favorites. From the insinuations surrounding President Clinton and Michael Jackson, it is clear the news media are not biased toward liberal or conservative issues. Nor does there seem to be some cohesive plot.

Kenneth Gilpin
What will be the most significant trend in financial markets in the new year? Several pundits of the business world were called upon to answer the question.Here are their responses. Leo Melamed Chairman emeritus, Chicago Mercantile Exchange The spread of financial derivatives will continue to the point where they have taken center stage in the world of finance. That is good news and bad news. It's good news because derivatives add liquidity to markets. But there are risks involved. In the coming year, I think regulators will be wrestling with these issues.
