Four years of covering Cuomo as a reporter have put me at his side - TopicsExpress



          

Four years of covering Cuomo as a reporter have put me at his side day after day, week after week, from the Soviet Union to Canada, from San Francisco to the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Weve drunk vodka together at backyard cookouts and in a Leningrad hotel. (Often after a few vodkas, and in other times of reflection, he dwells not on moments of glory but on those of defeat, especially the bitter 1977 New York City mayoral race he lost to Edward I. Koch.) He has fallen asleep next to me on the red-eye flight out of Los Angeles. (He snores.) He has threatened to ruin me for articles he perceived as negative. (I could end your career. Your publisher doesnt even know who you are.) He has offered to have the state police bring me chicken soup when I was home with the flu. -New York Times reporter Jeffrey Schmalz, 1988 lgrd.co/1xIehFb
