But this year brings forth other emotions, specific to your class and your law school: the memories stirred by 9I11; the premature loss of some of your classmates; the pride we have in our school and its unique role in helping to rebuild our neighborhood; and our determination to lead meaningful, responsible, productive lives as lawyers in an ever-changing world. To this list I must add my own response. I am proud of you, the Class of 2004. You showed true grit throughout your careers at New York Law School, have performed with great elan, showed grace under pressure, demonstrated your dedication to the law, and bonded like no other group ever before. Law teachers often emphasize the intellectual over the emotional. Lawyers keep a professional distance from their clients. Classmates compete with each other, but rarely show their admiration and love. You are different. I salute you, the Class of 2004, who have cared deeply for each other, shown great emotional strength, and demonstrated wonderful character! Sincerely, Richard A.

  • Cooper Square Committee Chrono
    Cooper Square Committee Chrono A listing of Cooper Square events and activities - including victories and defeats - from March 1959 through March 2005. Prepared by: Walter Thabit, March, 2005 Planners Network Cooper Square Committee Municipal Art Society 61 East 4thStreet Planning Center New York, NY 10003 212 228-8210 COOPER SQUARE CHRONOLOGY The Cooper Square Chronology was initiated by Thelma Burdick in March, 1959, and recorded significant events up to March, 1968. For years, it was the bible of the organization, allowing us to keep the important dates straight. Unfortunately, it has never been updated till now, and it might still be waiting to happen if there hadn't been a renewed interest in the Cooper Square story. Writers and advocate planners have interviewed old timers like myself and Frances Goldin, and after hearing of an interesting incident, then ask, "And what year was that?" Too often I didn't have a clue. So I finally decided to bring the chronology up-to-date. It has been hard work, but worth every minute. I'm not the only contributor to a chronology of events. Marci Reaven, doing a PhD. dissertation on Cooper Square has also put one together for her personal use, and I have used it to fill out some uncertain items as well as a few whose significance I missed. Also, Valerio Orselli, Cooper Square's Director for over 20 years prepared a specialized chronology of 40 membership meetings held around the issue of the rehabilitation program, the Mutual Housing Association, and the revised Cooper Square Plan. It is included here, starting in November, 1984, running through April, 1993.

According to the Information to which STEIN pled guilty and statements made during the plea proceeding before U.S. Magistrate Judge RONALD ELLIS: STEIN admitted that he willfully failed to pay federal income tax on over $1 million dollars in income in 2008. In his plea agreement, STEIN acknowledged that in April 2008, he submitted documents to the IRS that failed to disclose: • the existence of a company he controlled called Wind River, LLC; • a bank account for Wind River, LLC; • his use of credit cards in the names of third parties; and • his rental of a luxury summer home in Bridgehampton, New York. STEIN further admitted that he falsely denied knowing about Wind River, LLC, and falsely stated that he was not an officer of Wind River, LLC, during an interview with an IRS Special Agent. As part of his plea agreement, STEIN agreed to file accurate amended personal tax returns for the calendar years 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007; and to pay past taxes due and owing to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for calendar years 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, including any applicable penalties, on such terms and conditions as will be agreed upon between the defendant and the IRS.

Merit, incumbency, campaign spending, party support, newspaper endorsements, ethnicity, as well as any number of events not directly related Eto an election infl uence a campaign’s ultimate success or failure.1 In recent years, the role of campaign spending has again come to the forefront of New York City’s political debate. Money is, of course, an important factor in shaping electoral outcomes. But neither self-fi nancing nor a high level of spending alone is determinative. Indeed, the strongest predictor of electoral success is incumbency, while spending is a close (though often overlapping) second.2 In each of the past two mayoral elections, a self-funded candidate with seemingly unlimited resources has challenged the ability of New York City’s ground-breaking Campaign Finance Program to create a level playing fi eld for all candidates.

  • New York Politics '93
    New York Politics '93 by Murray N. Rothbard It's 1993, and this means that the quadrennial political extravaganza has hit New York City. New York's mayor, other high elected city officials, and the city council, are all up for election this year. New York is of course a famously left-wing city, and has therefore, sometimes slowly, sometimes rapidly, been going down the tubes for decades. But while the city may be overwhelmingly leftist and Democratic, a complicating factor is race. New York has always been a hotbed of ethnic and racial conflict, but in the days of the old-time political bosses, the guys in the smoke-filled rooms could come out with electoral tickets that were carefully racially and ethnically balanced. Now, however, that primaries, in the name of "democracy," have destroyed the old-time pols and their control of the political parties, ethnic and racial conflict has become naked and unalloyed. In 1989, New York elected its first black mayor. David Dinkins, famously dubbed the "fancy shvartze" by Jewish comedian Jackie Mason, first defeated long-time mayor Ed Koch in the Democratic primary, and then went on to defeat Rudolph Giuliani, the Republican-Liberal candidate, in a narrow squeaker in the general election. The city was hungry for racial harmony, and Dinkins, even though a down-the- line leftist, was perceived as "unthreatening" because of his habitually soft-spoken, nerdy, and worried demeanor. Koch, in contrast, was a typically loud-mouth, perpetually kvetching (complaining) and egomaniacal New Yorker, in politics a "moderate" (English translation: left neocon).

Our Fundholders recommended an unprecedented 63,000 grants totaling $456 million to charities in every sector. As a collective, we distributed 23 percent of charitable assets under management. It is our privilege to facilitate your grant-making, and to continue to provide enhanced services, programs, and tools to help you give more strategically and achieve greater impact with your philanthropy. By choosing JCF to facilitate your charitable giving, you further enable us to make an annual $2 million unrestricted grant to UJA-Federation of New York, to support local Jewish programs and initiatives. In addition, JCF’s endowment, the Special Gifts Fund, continues to change lives for the better, granting out more than $18 million since 1999. Your grants and ours combine to make a positive difference in people’s lives. We are pleased to report that in fiscal 2019, JCF approved grants of $985,000 from the Special Gifts Fund to Jewish charities selected by our trustees, with the assistance of UJA-Federation of New York.
