'''Jerome Tuccille''' (May 30, 1937 – February 16, 2017) was an American writer and activist usually associated with the [[Libertarianism in the United States|libertarian]] movement of American politics. In 1974, he ran for [[Governor of New York]] on the ticket of the [[Libertarian Party of New York|Free Libertarian Party]]. His campaign included a [[publicity stunt]] where a blonde woman wearing a [[bodystocking]] rode a horse named "Taxpayer" through [[Central Park]], alluding to the legend of [[Lady Godiva]].<ref name="NYTobit">{{cite news |first=William |last=Grimes |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/24/books/jerome-tuccille-dead.html?_r=0 |work=New York Times |title=Jerome Tuccille, Libertarian Author and Trump Biographer, Dies at 79 |date=February 24, 2017 |access-date=February 28, 2017}}</ref>
