Cover Story
The Cuomo Family Business
Andrew Cuomo grew up in the shadow of his distant, cerebral father,
and became his enforcer to get close to him. Now poised to become the second Governor Cuomo, he hopes he’s finally perfected the balance
between Mario’s intellectualism and his own aggression. By Steve Fishman
On the Cover: Mario and Andrew Cuomo. Photo-illustration by Josue Evilla for New York Magazine.
