Roy Goodman Nance Pulichene Farber Wants to Be 'Therapeutic* by Pat Borzi Barry Farber, who spent 16 years interviewing New York City officials for his late-night radio program, realized that he could be a mayoral candidate through observation. "After interviewing leaders for 16 years," he said. "1 concluded that I thought I could do a better job than any one of them." Such a brash statement is not a true indication of the nature of the man and his campaign.

But after losing the Republican nomination to Roy Goodman three weeks ago, and now endorsed by the Conservative Party, his chances of election are slim. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Farber served in the U.S. Army for three years. He started in radio with a 45-minute talk show on WINS in New York in 1960.
