New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani announces Wednesday he plans to separate from his wife. Giuliani has said he had nothing more than a professional relationship with his former press secretary, Cristyne Lategano, but declined to elaborate further. I've said everything I was going to say about that a long time ago. Cristyne Lategano was an excellent communications director. The viability of Giuliani's much-publicized candidacy for New York's open Senate seat has fallen into serious doubt since his April 27 cancer announcement.
Today marks exactly two weeks since that announcement.
Questions about Giuliani's candidacy have multiplied exponentially since with the developments in his personal life. Donna Hanover makes her statement. Giuliani addressed such speculation head-on Thursday, saying he has spoken to no one about dropping out of the race and asking a local news channel to apologize for reporting that he was ready to quit. George W. Bush likes to say he'll do for the rest of the country what he has done in Texas. The Web Copyright 2000 ABC News Internet Ventures.
