Rudy Giuliani

State Of The City

In his last State of the City address in February 2001, Giuliani enumerated the ways he had revived the city, including "the creation of the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management" preparing for "possible terrorist acts ..." He chose as a backdrop for his presentation a photograph of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Seven months later, they were destroyed. (Photo: Spencer Platt/Newsmakers))
