...isn't going to be the title of the book Bus Authority CEO Mark Aesch is writing. Even if e-mails from bus company workers after our story on Renaissance Square said it could be.
We learned today that, through intermediaries, Aesch has wangled an introduction to his book by none other than Rudy Giulani.
Rudy's a good candidate for something, but backs the loser for state Republican Chair, now gives a book blurb to a guy disliked in a rare bipartisan way here in Rochester.
Rudy, I love ya, but get a grip on local situations before you go out on a limb.

Koch made the comments in an interview with Playboy magazine . . . Questioned about time wasted in city subways, Koch replied, ''As opposed to wasting time in a car? Or out in the country, wasting time in a pickup truck when you have to drive 20 miles to buy a gingham dress or a Sears Roebuck suit?''
