Chapter One Hundred and Two
"Senator Koch, you voted in favor of Buckley's Tax Relief and Balance Act. Can you clarify your reasons?"

"I voted in favor because I believed-then and now-that it was what's best for the people. I won't apologize for trying to help make conditions better for the people here in New York State, even if that may disappoint some people."

"Senator, I don't think you have any right to lecture anyone on bettering conditions after having worsened the problems of corruption in New York Cit-"

"Congresswoman, this issue has been resolve-"

"No, it has not, Senator, this issue hasn't been resolved."

-Ed Koch and Geraldine Ferraro (1982)
