- <p> SHOW NO MERCY. Is Mario Cuomo trying to make sure there will
- be no Willie Horton in his past? For the first time in his
- seven years as Governor of New York, Cuomo declined to grant
- end-of-year clemency to any prisoners. (In earlier years, he
- commuted the terms of a total of 26 prisoners.) In 1986, when
- Cuomo was considered a possible Democratic presidential
- nominee, George Bush assailed him for freeing convicted
- murderer Gary McGivern. When Michael Dukakis got the nod, Bush
- shifted the attack to Horton, a convicted murderer who raped
- a woman after his furlough from a Massachusetts prison.
