Description:
New York Governor George Pataki is one of the most intriguing American politicians to emerge in the 1990s. In the 1994 gubernatorial campaign, the Republican from Albany defeated incumbent Mario Cuomo, a liberal giant once thought unbeatable--even without the support of New York City's Republican mayor, Rudy Giuliani. Since then, Pataki has reigned over a strong economy and falling crime rates, and some say he will wind up on the GOP presidential ticket in 2000. Like so many memoirs by politicians on the rise, however, Pataki says little of a provocative nature, with the possible exception of a passage in which Pataki describes cooking marijuana with baked beans during his college days. Still, political junkies, especially those right of center, will find this a welcome albeit uncritical introduction to a man who may play a visible role in every American's future. --John J. Miller
