One of the recent articles about Rudolph Giuliani quoted Andrew Kirtzman, an author who wrote a book titled Giuliani: The Rise and Tragic Fall of America's Mayor.

CHAPTER 2 Justice
CHAPTER 3 Combat
CHAPTER 4 Trouble
CHAPTER 5 Pals
CHAPTER 6 Mistakes
CHAPTER 7 Catastrophe
CHAPTER 8 Experts
CHAPTER 9 Rambo
CHAPTER 10 Frontrunner
CHAPTER 11 Relevance
CHAPTER 12 Guardrails
CHAPTER 13 Washington
CHAPTER 14 Joyride
CHAPTER 15 Smeared
CHAPTER 16 Conspiracy
CHAPTER 1

The crowd size was ballooning so quickly that police were growing nervous that things could spin out of control. Jackie worried that the sides of the car were starting to bend from the mobs pressing against it. At Wall Street, Jack rose from his seat to address the throng over a loudspeaker ("In 1960 the people say yes to progress!"), but the roar of the crowd, and the wailing of police sirens trying to contain it, drowned out the sound of his voice. The people of the city were giving the Democrat a tumultuous lift into the final stretch of his campaign for president against Vice President Richard Nixon.
Earlier in the morning, three miles away in a far more sedate Brooklyn neighborhood, a pudgy Catholic school senior named Rudy Giuliani decided to commit the almost unheard-of sin of cutting school to get a glimpse of his political hero. Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School was a serious place, where it was close to unthinkable to run afoul of the Christian Brothers who ran it.
