This article is about Rudy Giualiani and how he had been speaking for six minutes before anyone in the audience thought to clap, which was exactly how he wanted it. The when he was talking to a political crowd in North Spartanburg, S.C., last month, the former New York City mayor and 2008 presidential candidate was not there to excite but to warn; he was less interested in making political promises than he was sketching out the perils we face. He spoke in the hushed tones of the day that marked him for history, September 11, 2001, his voice barely filling the somber setting not a hotel ballroom or a church basement, but a firehouse, festooned with American flags. America’s struggle was far from over, Giuliani warned the crowd. The terrorists who tested the nation that morning were still plotting to destroy its spirit. He wouldn’t even use the word ‘if to talk about future attacks. I picked this article because it looked interesting to know about what is politically going on in our world today. And I think Rudy is a good speaker.
