    Jerry Krase(September 24, 2018)
    The tallies are in for the Democratic Party primary race for New York State Governor, and unfortunately for most of us self-identified libidinous “Progressives” the answer is “NO.” Although allegedly “left-leaning” candidates, especially those of the female-kind, knocked off some “right-leaning” lower level, nominally Democratic Party incumbents, Governor Andrew Cuomo was the last man standing at the top.

    On the Road to Naples I Discovered Why Italian American Politicians are their Own Worst Enemies

    Jerry Krase(January 15, 2016)
    Italian American politicians adhere to a corollary given by the 6th century BCE Chinese general Sun Tzu who wrote the Art of War.

My mother-in-law Rose Jordan-Nicoletti’s version of this Italian American proverb was “Don’t apologize! Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it.”

Therefore I offer here a piece of what I wrote in 1992 decorated with some current and sincere reflections.
