Where are they now? Sept. 11 figures five years later
NEW YORK (AP) Before Sept. 11, 2001, Rudy Giuliani was a lame-duck mayor riding out the last few months of his second term. His take-charge response to the terrorist attacks on his city forever changed that image, transforming Giuliani into a national icon and possible presidential candidate.
Since leaving office on January 1, 2002, Giuliani has parlayed his 9/11 fame into several lucrative business ventures.
His consulting firm, the Giuliani Group, offers strategic and investment advice to corporate clients. He joined a major Texas-based law firm, Bracewell & Patterson, as a named partner; the firm is now called Bracewell & Giuliani.
The former mayor regularly tours the country giving motivational speeches, charging as much as $100,000 per appearance.
In July 2002, Giuliani and his second wife, Donna Hanover, divorced. The messy public split began in 2000, when Giuliani went public with his relationship with another woman, Judith Nathan. Giuliani agreed to pay Hanover a divorce settlement worth more than $6.8 million.
Giuliani remains a GOP presidential prospect, although his moderate views on social issues he supports abortion rights, gay rights and gun control place him to the left of most Republican primary voters. He will wait until after the 2006 elections, he has said, to make a decision about whether to seek the nomination.
Meanwhile, he has campaigned extensively with Republican candidates across the country. His political action committee has contributed thousands of dollars to Republican congressional hopefuls.

THE BULLHORN FIREFIGHTER: Iconic moment with Bush gave him '15 minutes of fame'
BALDWIN, N.Y. (AP) It will likely go down as one of the defining images of the Bush presidency: the president standing with his arm around a firefighter atop a smoky pile of rubble at ground zero just three days after terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center.
In the nearly five years since, Bob Beckwith has sought to use the fame he gained from standing alongside President Bush to help others.
