  • Remembering Guy Molinari (1928-2018)
    REMEMBERING GUY MOLINARI (1928-2018) For most Americans, the Holiday Season that begins with Thanksgiving and culminates on New Year's Eve is a time of celebration, reflection, and remembrance. Many thousands of Americans, in the Counting of their Blessings this year, will give Thanks to having had a Public Servant who made a positive impact on their lives and livelihoods. That person is former Congressman Guy Molinari, who departed this life on July 25 at the age of 89. If there is one word that comes to mind by those who had the privilege of having known Guy Molinari, that word is “Courage.” Courage is what Molinari exhibited when he joined the Marine Corps as a young man. At a celebratory stop at a bar in, ironically, Washington, D. C., en route to Basic Training at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Molinari led his fellow recruits to walk out of that bar in protest of a racist bartender who refused to serve one of the young men in Molinari's group who was African-American. Once in the Corps, Molinari, armed with a Law Degree, stood up to superior Officers Indifferent or Hostile towards Justice. In the frozen fields of South Korea Molinari thus established a personal template that would guide him through the rest of his extraordinary life; he would be a champion of those falsely accused of wrongdoing. Molinari returned from the Korean War to his beloved Staten Island in 1953. It was there he turned to the practice of real estate law. The rule of law was a principle by which Molinari was raised; his Grand-parents had immigrated to the U.

  • The Honorable Susan Molinari Oral History Interview Final Edited
    The Honorable Susan Molinari U.S. Representative of New York (1990–1997) Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript January 8, 2016 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “We all bring our experiences to a discussion, and there are all different experiences, and so I did take very seriously the experience of being a female and bringing that to the discussion. I was not one of those people—sometimes I would go up to somebody and say they did this, and they’d be like, ‘I am not going to be the female legislator.’ And I totally respect that, but that was not me; I was going to be the female legislator. If there was something that was going on that was ticking me off with regard to women, anyplace, I was going to be the female. So, I took that very seriously. There was a reason I was there.” The Honorable Susan Molinari January 8, 2016 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography i Editing Practices ii Citation Information ii Interviewer Biographies iii Interview 1 Notes 57 Abstract Raised in a political family, Susan Molinari’s relationship with her father, Congressman Guy Molinari, greatly influenced her road to Congress. As the only Republican on the city council of New York, and the daughter of a well-known politician, Molinari used her notoriety and experience to win a seat in the U.S. House. She made history as only the second daughter to directly succeed her father in Congress. Her youth and political lineage garnered the attention of the Republican Leadership and the respect of her colleagues.

  • Unconventional Cancer Treatments
    Unconventional Cancer Treatments September 1990 OTA-H-405 NTIS order #PB91-104893 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Unconventional Cancer Treatments, OTA-H-405 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1990). For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing OffIce, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword A diagnosis of cancer can transform abruptly the lives of patients and those around them, as individuals attempt to cope with the changed circumstances of their lives and the strong emotions evoked by the disease. While mainstream medicine can improve the prospects for long-term survival for about half of the approximately one million Americans diagnosed with cancer each year, the rest will die of their disease within a few years. There remains a degree of uncertainty and desperation associated with “facing the odds” in cancer treatment. To thousands of patients, mainstream medicine’s role in cancer treatment is not sufficient. Instead, they seek to supplement or supplant conventional cancer treatments with a variety of treatments that exist outside, at varying distances from, the bounds of mainstream medical research and practice. The range is broad—from supportive psychological approaches used as adjuncts to standard treatments, to a variety of practices that reject the norms of mainstream medical practice. To many patients, the attractiveness of such unconventional cancer treatments may stem in part from the acknowledged inadequacies of current medically-accepted treatments, and from the too frequent inattention of mainstream medical research and practice to the wider dimensions of a cancer patient’s concerns.

  • New York Power Authority Pouch Terminal Power Plant, Staten Island
    CITY OF N~w YORK PREsIDENT OF THE BOROUGH OF STATEN ISLAND JAMES P. MOUNARO BOROUGH HALL, STATEN IsLAND, N.Y. 10301 PRESIDENT October 26, 2005 Mr. Stephen l. Johnson Administrator REceIVED United States Environmental Protection Agency Ariel Rios Building OCT 2 ~ 2005 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue N.,W. OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT Mail Code: 1101A Washington, D.C. 20460 Re: Petition filing: Objecting to the Granting of a Title V Air Permit for New York Power Authority's "In-City" Power Plant, Pouch Terminal, Staten Island (Rosebank) Dear Administrator Johnson: This letter is to serve as my petition to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), objecting to the recent approval by EPA Region 2 of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (DEC) Title V permit for the New York Power Authority's (NYPA) "in-city" power plant in the Rosebank section of Staten Island, known as the Pouch Terminal site. For the record, I am objecting to the permit for only this facility; I have no issue with any of the other recently constructed "in-city" NYPA power plants that concurrently received a Title V permit. As borough president of Staten Island, the Rosebank power plant is the one facility out of the 11 that necessitates an objection to this Title V air permit for one specific reason: it is the only one built directly across the street from residences. While my issues are outlined below, they are also covered in more detail in several attachments I am including to this letter: Attachment #1 : The December 20, 2001, testimony of then-borough
