    Andrew Cuomo, Mark Green, Charlie King and Sean Patrick Maloney (in alphabetical order!) are all vying for the chance to run against Republican candidate Jeanine Pirro for the chance to succeed Eliot Spitzer as New York State’s top legal official.

Plus, an insider’s view of toiling in the corporate lawyer mill, better airport screening and end-of-summer weekend plans.
