Before I have a stroke.......this was printed in the New York Times? These criticisms of Rudy? This complain that throwing Arafat out of the concert hall resulted in the failure of Oslo?

I remember the incident, but I don't recall the details. As I vaguely recall, Arafat tried to set up a typical liberal love-fest photo-op at Lincoln Center, with Giuliani as one of the players, no doubt alerting the NY press ahead of time, and Giuliani simply refused to play ball. I remember at the time that I thought he behaved with more dignity than the people who tried to orchestrate this PR event.
