Rudolph W Giuliani

No letup in the last hours After Iowa, change is in the air in New Hampshire. In the Democratic primary, Barack Obama's emphasis on change has suddenly made him the candidate to beat. On the Republican side, Mike Huckabee has a tall order in replicating his win, but this has forced Mitt Romney to alter his tactics and helped revive John McCain's chances.

Despite his entirely modern personal history -- including two divorces and a messy extramarital scandal with the woman who became his third wife -- there is something old-fashioned about Rudolph W. Giuliani. He almost always campaigns in a suit and tie, even in informal settings. He wears rimless spectacles that he removes when he stands before cameras, and he carries a white handkerchief, folded into a perfect square, to dab his forehead when the lights get hot.

When then-Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani renamed a New York corner for four Cuban Americans killed when their planes were shot down by Fidel Castro's armed forces in 1996, he won over South Florida's most powerful voting bloc. On Thursday, Giuliani basked in the gratitude of Cuban exiles as his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination swept through the community that gave President Bush the winning edge over Al Gore in 2000. Giuliani had to abandon his bid for the U.S.

One week after a severe headache forced Rudolph W. Giuliani to spend a night in the hospital, his doctor declared the Republican presidential candidate to be "in very good health." The statement from Dr. Valentin Fuster of New York listed tests done at a hospital in St. Louis and in New York after Giuliani experienced "significant headache and fatigue." He said results of all tests were normal.

. -- Republican presidential hopeful Rudolph W. Giuliani was back campaigning Saturday, feeling well after what were described as flu-like symptoms had triggered an overnight hospital stay earlier in the week. "It was a severe headache, yeah, and everything has turned out fine," the former New York mayor said Saturday. "All the tests turned out 100%. As you can see, I'm very healthy."

Over the summer and fall, former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani was riding high. Following a strategy that downplayed the early-voting states, his battle plan was to focus on Florida -- that virtual suburb of New York. Winning the Sunshine State on Jan. 29 would blunt the victories of his more conservative rivals for the Republican presidential nomination in places like Iowa and New Hampshire, and act as a slingshot, hurling him toward victory on Feb. 5, when 22 states hold primaries.

In an effort reminiscent of the bitter "Swift Boat" campaign during the 2004 presidential race, a group of New York firefighters who lost sons in the Sept. 11 World Trade Center attacks is organizing a political committee to take on former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani in Republican primary states.

GOP presidential contender Rudolph W. Giuliani announced Tuesday that he gave up his roles as chairman and chief executive of his consulting company earlier this year. The disclosure came after recent stories about his consulting and law firms' business with the government of Qatar, a gambling business in Macao and an Ethiopian faction opposing its government.

Mike Huckabee, the ascendant Republican presidential candidate in Iowa, is enjoying a surge of support across the country -- and Rudolph W. Giuliani seems to be paying the biggest price, a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found. Huckabee has pulled into second place, close behind Giuliani, in the national survey of Republican-leaning voters.

Daniel Tavares Jr. served 16 years in a Massachusetts prison for killing his mother with a carving knife. He associated with racist inmates, but Tavares expressed universal hostility: He repeatedly threatened to kill or maim his father, various state officials and prison guards. His father called him "pure evilness." Tavares, 41, was released from prison in June.
