Didn’t he also refuse to attend some dinner that Castro was at and his explanation was that he wouldn’t break bread with a murderer?
Take all of these individual examples of a backbone and standing up for what he believed was right and I see no other possible candidate matching him in the Leadership and Courage facets of character assessment. There is one other point I would like to make. With everyone is making much on his number of marriages.
There is a very healthy body of rumors out in the world that people should explore. A lot of stories are floating around that Donna Hanover was no picnic to live with. I’ve heard the words: shrew, witch, hell, irrational and a lot worse in describing her behavior. I’ve not heard one word about Donna from Rudy though. Since the kid, Andrew lives with her, there appears to be no softening on her part of his perception of his father. I just wonder that along with all of the stories about Donna, if poisoning the Child against the Father is out of the realm of possibility.
