"How am I doing?"

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

This signature line of former NYC mayor Ed Koch was popular in the early
1930s. I'm adding it to my web page (maybe Fred has it in his quotations book),
so anything extra will be appreciated.

U.S. Representative Edward Koch tried four years ago to handshake his way  to
the mayoralty the same way he has patrolled the subway stops and streets of
his Congressional District on Manhattan's East Side. One spring morning in
1973,  he traveled to the far reaches of Queens to press pamphlets into the hands
of  people waiting for express buses, introduce himself and ask, "How am I
doing?"  Those who responded said, somewhat bemusedly, that he was doing all
right. But,  in fact, he had run out of money, and that afternoon, he dropped out
of the  campaign.
