A discussion notes that public office seekers surrender private life to scrutiny and hostility. It cites a mayoral candidate suing a newspaper, with the State Supreme Court affirming that truthful reporting and commentary are permissible duties of city publishers.
The article argues a failed candidate must endure public scorn and media scrutiny, saying only those who can laugh off jibes and accept public ownership should seek office, otherwise they belong to ordinary citizens. It stresses resilience and good nature as essential for public figures.
