Charmed life appears over for New York's first lady in wake of husband's scandal

Silda Wall Spitzer appeared to have it all.

The Harvard Law School graduate succeeded as a hard-charging corporate lawyer, then raised three daughters and supported the ambitions of her husband, Eliot, as he became New York's attorney general and then governor.

On Monday, she stood wordlessly by his side as he admitted to acting "in a way that violates my obligations to my family."

Fourteen months after Spitzer rode his reputation for clean politics into New York's highest office, he was linked to a federal investigation of a high-priced call-girl ring. He has not been charged, and prosecutors would not comment on the case.
