"Giuliani Snubs Jones County."
—Headline of the weekly Iowa newspaper, The Anamosa Journal-Eureka, after a last-minute decision by the Giuliani camp not to stage a federal estate-tax reform announcement at the farm of Republican supporters Deborah and Jerry Von Sprecken because, as campaign adviser Tony Delgado told them, their farm "was not worth millions of dollars." Giuliani returned to Iowa the following week for a two-hour private apology at the couple's kitchen table.
