NAMES IN THE NEWS : Koch Sleeps In--Till 6 A.M.
After 12 years as mayor, Ed Koch slept in on his first day as Citizen Koch--until 6 a.m.
Koch, whose reign as mayor ended Monday, gave himself an extra hour to sleep Tuesday, then worked out at a gym and arrived at his new law office by 8 a.m.
“I was the first one into the office,” crowed Koch, now a partner at Robinson, Silverman, Pearce, Aronsohn & Berman.
He also recorded a three-minute commentary for a New York radio station on Tuesday morning, met his new co-workers, set up lunch dates with potential clients and then went off to lunch with officials at the television station on which he will appear in a weekly show.
“I’m having a ball,” he said.
