The man who sent vans, through my neighborhood in '77 ETA: (maybe it was '75. I forget) spouting: "Vote for Cuomo; not the homo".

I'm gonna have a hard time, missing him. I was a strong supporter of "Hizoner" (Mayor Koch).

It was never proved who started the smear campaign against Koch.

One of my favorite memories of Mario Cuomo was him reading the morning papers and then calling the reporters to dress them down for misquoting and misunderstandings.

You're an angry man, Michael. That's one long grudge.

It also takes sides in a campaign that had no white knights.

While Koch had a reputation as a crusading reformer, that summer he quietly promised plum city jobs to the political powerbrokers in the boroughs in exchange for their support.[5] Cuomo ran on banning the death penalty, which backfired with New Yorkers, who were sick of crime. Cuomo then went negative with ads that likened Koch to unpopular former mayor John Lindsay. His supporters used the inflammatory slogan "Vote for Cuomo, Not the Homo".[5] Meanwhile, Koch backers accused Cuomo of anti-Semitism and pelted Cuomo campaign cars with eggs.[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_mayoral_election,_1977
