    Averill Harriman, Nelson Rockefeller, Bobby Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg all began careers near the top of the ladder in New York politics.

    Averill Harriman, Nelson Rockefeller, Bobby Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg all began careers near the top of the ladder in New York politics. Now Caroline Kennedy, a quiet lawyer who writes poetry and books for young people, wants Governor David Paterson to appoint her to the United States Senate. Kennedy needs the vote of just one man, the Governor, to succeed Senator Hillary Clinton, who's the likely next Secretary of State. Alexandra Marks is following the story for the Christian Science Monitor.
