She is known as the polished one, the poised one -- a Harvard-educated lawyer and an amateur painter, a prolific letter writer who gives homemade jam to friends at Christmastime.

When she was a child, Silda Spitzer has said, she was a tomboy with dreams of being a professional football player. Her name is a variation of Serilda, which means "Teutonic war goddess." If there's little of the tomboyishness these days to the soon-to-be-former first lady of New York, she nevertheless projects strength and steadiness in public appearances. You could see it yesterday during her husband's news conference -- the way she lifted her eyes and looked evenly at the cameras, as if to say, <I>I will not be undone</I>.
