Many felt that the beneficiary of this change would be volatile Bronx Congressman Mario Biaggi. However, the most decorated policeman in America locked horns in a tooth-and-nail battle with the baddest hombre of them all, the media, and came out looking like a rookie. For weeks, Biaggi kept insisting that he hadn't taken the Fifth Amendment in front of a grand jury. When the testimony was released and it showed that he had indeed taken not only the Fifth but entire Bill of Rights, his campaign machinery stopped functioning...

Another Horovitz problem: a sustained narrative line. He tends to interrupt one story in order to tell another. In Dr. Hero, he is somewhat luckier, since the chronicle is dictated by nature- birth, adolescence, love, marriage, a job, old age, death...
