'''Rudy Giuliani''' (born Rudolph William Giuliani, May 28, 1944 in [[Brooklyn]], New York) gained worldwide fame and became a hero to conservatives for his decisive action in the aftermath of the [[9/11]] attacks. He was person of the Year and became known as "America's Mayor." As [[Republican Party|Republican]] mayor of New York City he cleaned up crime, cut taxes, built up business, fought the unions, and restored the future of the city, gaining the reputation as one of the greatest mayors in history. Previously he was [[United States Attorney]] and Deputy U.S. Attorney General.  In 2007-8 Giuliani emerged as an early front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, but faltered late in 2007 and did poorly in the primaries.  

'''Rudy Giuliani''' (born Rudolph William Giuliani, May 28, 1944 in [[Brooklyn]], New York) gained worldwide fame and became a hero to New Yorkers & the nation for his decisive action in the aftermath of the [[9/11]] attacks. He was ''Time'' Magazine's "Person of the Year" and became known as "America's Mayor." As [[Republican Party|Republican]] mayor of New York City he cleaned up crime, cut taxes, built up business, fought the unions, and restored the future of the city, gaining the reputation as one of the greatest mayors in history. Previously he was [[United States Attorney]] and Deputy U.S. Attorney General.  In 2007-8 Giuliani emerged as an early front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, but faltered late in 2007 and did poorly in the primaries.  

Giuliani brought a new, conservative approach to the ills of New York City. He argued that crime's root cause was not poverty but poor law enforcement; poverty was not alleviated by social welfare programs but perpetuated by them; and the public schools needed not more money but fewer bureaucrats. He made major efforts to reform city affairs, opposed at every step by labor unions, social-service agencies, the school bureaucracy, and identity-group politicians.  He became a media favorite based on his conservative crime fighting and his liberal positions on [[abortion]] and [[homosexuality]]. As mayor he would hold almost daily press conferences, and his personal indiscretions regarding his married life became favorite topics for the media.
