London’s New Mayor
Born in New York
The 1990s were a decade of brilliance for Boris, capped in 1999 with the editorship ofThe Specator.He was still only 35 but this prize was far from the limits of his ambition. As a youngster, he once confided to a friend that he would like to be President of the United States. (His birth in New York made this possible, albeit ludicrous).
So long Red Ken!
Boris is exactly what a London mayor should be, and a larger-than-life figure in a (mostly) good way. Congrats and good luck to him, and good riddance to Livingstone.
