New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, considered by many to be an icon of the Democratic Party, will speak at 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 24, at UC Davis in Recreation Hall. Elected New York state's 52nd governor in 1982, he set records for popularity in both his 1986 and 1990 bids for re-election. Cuomo's talk, titled "A Discussion With Mario Cuomo," is the first in a 1993-94 series of distinguished speakers sponsored by UC Davis Presents. Media are invited to cover this event, but must make arrangements in advance by calling Dave Webb, marketing manager for UC Davis Presents, at (916) 757-3199.
