...human remains horrified and sickened even experienced rescue workers. For the most part they found not bodies, just pieces of bodies. Lew Napolitan, who lives close by and ran to the scene, could not forget the sight of a thighbone covered with burned flesh. Monty Winchester, a member of the fire department in nearby South Heights, "came in this ((Friday)) morning after picking up parts of bodies all night, and he was pretty sick," said his friend Daniel Godich. "He had to take one guy out of a tree in pieces, and that was bad enough, but when he came...
Such private political meddling abroad is not without foreign policy implications. There is the real risk that consultants will naively misjudge a foreign leader's commitment to democracy. Joseph Napolitan, one of the pioneering global political operatives, helped mastermind Ferdinand Marcos' 1969 re-election campaign in the Philippines. As Napolitan gushed in his 1972 memoir, "((Marcos)) is bright, knowledgeable, handsome, charismatic -- the kind of candidate you like to work with."

Advised by U.S. Media Consultant Jo seph Napolitan, Lusinchi blamed outgoing President Luis Herrera Campins, 58, for all of Venezuela's many economic woes.

Herrera's adviser was Manhattan-based David Garth, whose credits include the victories of New York Governor Hugh Carey and New York City Mayor Edward Koch. Piñerua had the services of Clifton White, a former Barry Goldwater aide, and Joseph Napolitan, author of The Election Game and How to Win It, who ran the successful 1973 campaign of outgoing President Carlos Andr...
...Garth and Deardourff best typify this frenetic business. Deardourff spent one recent week racing to Florida for an anti-casino campaign; then to Venezuela for the presidential race, where he is opposed not only by Garth but also by the legendary Joe Napolitan, onetime seer for Hubert Humphrey; then to Detroit, where he is handling the re-election campaign of Governor William Milliken; then to Ohio to write some TV spots for Governor Rhodes; then to Pennsylvania for a conference with Gubernatorial Candidate Richard Thornburgh. Says Deardourff: "You either win or you lose, and people who lose fall...
