- 2007-06-18 Rudy missing in action for Iraq panel: "Giuliani's campaign fundraising kept him from commitment to panel studying Iraq."
- 1998-06-14 Mayor Defends Plan to Build Crisis Center: "While it may provide you with the opportunity to survey the city," putting the center on the 23d floor not only makes it hard to reach should the power in the rest of the building be cut, but also "leaves you open to a missile attack." said Edward Shaughnessy, a professor of sociology and law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and an expert in emergency management. (What's really embarrassing, of course, is when the missile attack happens but your building is somehow left more or less intact only to collapse mysteriously many hours later.)
