But before mentioning his own wife, he invoked the name of the current Governor's wife.

Just as in a State of the Union address, when he mentioned his wife she got a standing ovation.

"Did he mention his wife while you were at the bar?"

At last I had to forbid him to mention his late wife at all.

"Too bad he never mentioned his wife," I said.

He never had been able to figure out a way to respond when people mentioned his dead wife.

Mr. Giuliani did not mention his wife or their two children during the news conference.

He remained silent until someone mentioned his wife giving birth to a son in 1994.

He did not mention his own children nor his wife.

He sighed and, also characteristically, did not mention his father's second wife.
