CONWAY — The radio station around here has a popular morning feature called "Talk of the Towns," and in the past week, the talk of the towns, and of New Hampshire more generally, has been Rudolph Giuliani's injury in an automobile accident.
Part of it, of course, is about his recovery. Preliminary reports indicated he suffered a fractured vertebra, was treated in a hospital and was released on Labor Day. Everybody — even his fiercest critics, and in the Giuliani style, his critics all are fierce — was relieved that his prospects for a full recovery are bright.
