There's A Nastiness Out There That Wants To Harm Me With Words. These Are My Enemies - The Ideologues, The Populists, The Columnists Who Don't Like The Fact That I Take Them On Toe-to-toe. What I Try To Do Is Tell The Truth. It's Not The Coin Of The Realm In Politics.

When I Was First Elected I Got 50% Of The Vote In '77 In The General Election. In '81 I Got 75%. In '85, I Got 78%. No Mayor Has Ever Gotten That High A Vote. So It Was Not An Issue. Except For People Who Were Very Hostile To Me. They Thought They Would Injure Me.
