THE mayor
speaks out...
Writing in his familiar voice -- a New
Yorker's bluntness, leavened by his
passion for ideas -- Rudolph Giuliani
demonstrates in Leadership how the
leadership skills he practices can be
employed successfully by anyone who has to
run anything. After all, until the
September 11 attacks on the World Trade
Center pushed him into an unwanted role in
history, Giuliani was only months away
from leaving office with a reputation as
one of the most effective mayors New York
had ever seen.

The new book
which exposes Jessie
Jackson...
According to veteran investigative
reporter Kenneth R. Timmerman, Jesse
Jackson is a modern day highway robber who
uses cries of racism to steal from
individuals, corporations, and government,
to give to himself. Until now, however, no
one has been brave enough to say it and
diligent enough to prove it. But Ken
Timmerman has cracked Jackson's machine,
found Jackson cronies willing to break
ranks, and uncovered a sordid tale of
greed, ambition, and corruption from a
self-proclaimed minister who has no qualms
about poisoning American race relations
for personal gain.
