Product Description
From Rocky to Pataki is a lively blend of political cartooning and oral history, featuring forty years of drawings by award-winning cartoonist Hy Rosen. Covering New York State politics from the late 1950s to the late 1990s, Peter Slocum offers frank - and not always flattering - stories from more than fifty political players, while Hy Rosen's editorial cartoons paint a portrait of the Empire State as it soared under the grand dreams of Rockefeller, nearly went bust in the aftermath, and struggled to bounce back in the nineties. Interviews with Governors Hugh Carey, Mario Cuomo, and George Pataki; New York City mayors Ed Koch and John Lindsay; and Senators Alfonse D'Amato and Daniel Patrick Moynihan highlight this powerful look at four decades of political ups and downs in Albany.

4 out of 5 stars Must reading   June 2, 2000
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book is must reading for anyone who has any hope of understanding the unintelligible -- New York government. With an insider's view and an outsider's objectivity, author Peter Slocum offers a fun and fascinating look at New York, its characters and why it is what it is today (dysfunctional). Hy Rosen's classic cartoons are a constant reminder that we never really had to take any of it seriously. All in all, a fun read for anyone remotely interested in Empire State politics.
