Quinn Focuses on Personal Over Political

The New York Times gets an early peek at New York City mayoral candidate Christine Quinn’s new memoir, With Patience and Fortitude: A Memoir.

“Ms. Quinn’s candor about her personal life is as notable as her vagueness about politics. There is not a single reference to the slush-fund scandal that has been her lowest point as speaker. She says little about her relationship with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, whom she calls ‘my colleague.’ The battle over term limits is disposed of in two pages, while thousands of words are devoted to her wedding last year.”
