But the his- toric Bensonhurst school is giving former students one last chance to revel in their happy memories of days gone by. The school officially closed last week more than 90 years after it first opened. The last day of classes was June 21. An announcement was posted on the academy’s Facebook page last week inviting the community to attend a special mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church on the morning of Saturday, June 29, followed by a block party on the street outside the school in the afternoon. The school, located at 1514 72nd St., will be open for tours during the block party to give former students a chance to “reminisce your childhood,” the Facebook announcement reads. The mass will take place at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church at 7201 15th Ave., at 11:30 a.m. Former students shared their memories of life at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Academy. “I went there from first Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Academy is now closed, but former students will get the chance to take a tour of the building to get one last grade through eighth grade.

  • Securities Market Structure and Regulation
    INTRODUCTION In beginning this symposium on the structure and regulation of the securities markets, I’m sure we will all keep in mind George Santayana’s caution that: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”1 Although enormous changes have taken place over the past few decades, we keep hearing echoes of the past. When the London Stock Exchange (LSE) switched from floor-based to electronic trading exactly twenty years ago, it decided that the transformation might be too traumatic for its members, so it adopted a hybrid market—an electronic market combined with traditional floor trading. The hybrid market lasted just over four months, at which time the LSE closed its floor for trading in equities. Will the New York Stock Exchange’s experience with its new hybrid market be the same or different? The Consolidated Limited Order Book (CLOB), which I expect will be discussed today, was first proposed to the SEC thirty years ago by Professor Peake, one of today’s speakers, in 1976, a year after Congress told the SEC to create a national market system. The CLOB, which would execute investors’ orders electronically under a rule of time and price priority, seemed to him the best way to assure best execution of investors’ orders throughout the national market system. In 1978, the SEC told the exchanges to create a CLOB. A year later the Commission had second thoughts: it feared that a CLOB would lead to the elimination of exchange trading floors by inexorably forcing all trading into a fully automated trading system.

  • The Common Law Powers of the New York State Attorney General
    THE COMMON LAW POWERS OF THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL Bennett Liebman* The role of the Attorney General in New York State has become increasingly active, shifting from mostly defensive representation of New York to also encompass affirmative litigation on behalf of the state and its citizens. As newly-active state Attorneys General across the country begin to play a larger role in national politics and policymaking, the scope of the powers of the Attorney General in New York State has never been more important. This Article traces the constitutional and historical development of the At- torney General in New York State, arguing that the office retains a signifi- cant body of common law powers, many of which are underutilized. The Article concludes with a discussion of how these powers might influence the actions of the Attorney General in New York State in the future.

    STATEWIDE RACES • GOVERNOR• Democratic Primary PREFERRED CANDIDATE - ELIOT SPITZER - DEM, WFP, IND Has returned questionnaire; view responses at www.citizensunion.org Occupation: Attorney General, NYS Education: Princeton University (AB); Harvard Law School (JD) Eliot Spitzer was elected Attorney General in 1998 in what was an upset victory over then Attorney General Dennis Vacco that took almost two months for the winner to be declared. In his 8 years in the office, Spitzer has become what many describe as the one of the most effective Attorney Generals in the history of the State of New York, and perhaps the nation. While his accomplishments as an Attorney General are impressive, he is facing a very credible challenger for the Democratic nomination, as well as an accomplished and well known candidate from the Republican Party, should he win the Democratic nomination. As Attorney General, Spitzer has become most well known for the aggressive and directed focus he brought to bear in his pursuit of unethical business practices on Wall Street, where there has been some criticism of his tactics in that pursuit. His prosecution of those companies has played a major part in forcing greater corporate accountability and transparency throughout the nation. His pursuits of unethical business practices has extended to the entertainment industry as well, most notably the action he brought against SONY/BMG Music Entertainment for their role in making payments and providing expensive gifts to radio stations and their employ- ees in return for “airplay” for the company’s songs. Spitzer’s candidacy is built largely upon this established record of action and accom- plishment.

  • Jewish Hopefuls Have Losing Feeling
    Jewish Hopefuls Have Losing Feeling Forward - October 23, 1998 Jewish Hopefuls Have Losing Feeling New York state once led the nation in electing Jews to high office. In 1932, Herbert Lehman was elected governor, served three more terms and then ran successfully for the Senate. Jacob Javits, a Republican Congressman from Manhattan, went on to serve as attorney general and then as a senator. Republican Louis Lefkowitz served as attorney general for more than 20 years, and Democrat Arthur Levitt was state comptroller from 1953 to 1978. Long before Jews were elected from other states. New York had a favorable climate for aspiring Jewish politicians. But, in recent years, Jewish candidates have lost when running for Statewide office. With four Jewish candidates on ballots this election day, the test is to see which way history will swing. The decline of Jews within the bemocratic Party first become evident in the 1970's when Hugh Carey defeated upstate businessman Howard Samuels in the 1974 gubernatorial Democratic primary and Daniel Patrick Moynihan defeated Bella Abzug (among others) in the 1976 Democratic Senate primary. This trend grew stronger when Mario Cuomo won the 1982 Democratic nomination for governor by defeating Mayor Ed Koch of New York. When Alfonse D'Amato defeated Jacob Javits and Elizabeth Holtzman for Senate in 1980, it was clear that politics in the Empire State had changed. Jewish candidates have lost - despite the fact that they span the ideological spectrum. In 1994, Democratic nominee Karen Burstein lost to conservative Dennis Vacco for attorney general, while Republican Herb London lost to H.
