In endorsements for the Manhattan D.A.'s race, as we noted before, it's been
all about Richard Aborn. But the other candidates are starting to grab some big names, too. Cyrus Vance Jr. has just added former state comptroller and gubernatorial candidate Carl McCall to his
roster, which includes David Dinkins and Betsy Gotbaum. "The people of Manhattan expect and deserve a DA that will handle criminal justice issues with fairness and integrity," says McCall, stressing Vance's courtroom experience. And Leslie Crocker Snyder, the big star of whose
previous endorsements was
Judge Judy, finally
got former mayor Ed Koch on board. Last month Koch
said he liked all the candidates, but today he declared for his former criminal court appointee -- though his remarks on the "laughing stock" the Espada insurgency would make of New York will perhaps be more noticed in the media.
