David von Drehle has written a mostly positive profile of Rudy for Time. What emerges is a Rudy who is prepared for an onslought of negative attacks, but is trying to maintain his post-9/11 glow as long as possible:
“I’ve been through it many, many times before,” Giuliani tells Time. “I accept it … People have every right to explore the positives and the negatives about me. It’s true for all these candidates: we all have things we’ve done right, things we’ve done wrong.” He continues, “That’s what this process is about, and you’ve got to come to peace with it, that it does involve scrutiny, attack, opportunity to explain what you’re talking about-and the chance, ultimately, to change things.”
