  • Memorial Minute in Memory of Wechsler
    430 • 2000 PROCEEDINGS The Memorial Minute in memory of Herbert Wechsler was read by Chair of the Council Roswell B. Perkins. Herbert Wechsler December 4, 1909 - April 26, 2000 Out of the nine decades of the life of Herbert Wechsler, 46 years were ones of membership in The American Law Institute and 21 years were ones of extraordinary service as the third Director of the Institute. It is unlikely that the magnificence of his contributions to the Institute will ever be surpassed. In his oral interview with Paul Wolkin in 1989, Herb said (and I cannot refrain from calling him Herb in spite of the formality of this biographical memorial): I remember it took quite a lot of courage on my part, after I'd been a Reporter for a couple of years, to ask Judge Goodrich if he'd either propose me or get me proposed as a member. He looked at me with astonishment and said, "You mean you're not a member?" Of course Judge Goodrich, Herb's predecessor as Director, promptly remedied this institutional oversight in the same year, 1954. Herb's choice of a career in service of the law was attributable in part to the fact of his being the son of a lawyer, Samuel Wechsler. Herb was born in New York City, brought up in Manhattan, and entered City College of New York at the age of 15, graduating in 1928 with a degree in French. In a dialogue recorded in the Columbia Oral History Project, conducted between 1978 and 1982, Herb gave us this vignette of his col­ lege days: I was not only apolitical, but rather anti-political in col­ lege.

  • Biden Is Only Leading Dem to Top Trump in Ohio, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Former V.P
    Peter A. Brown, Assistant Director (203) 535-6203 Rubenstein Pat Smith (212) 843-8026 FOR RELEASE: JULY 25, 2019 BIDEN IS ONLY LEADING DEM TO TOP TRUMP IN OHIO, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; FORMER V.P. HAS BIG LEAD IN DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY Former Vice President Joseph Biden leads President Donald Trump 50 – 42 percent in the critical swing state of Ohio, the only leading Democratic candidate to top the Republican incumbent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. The other leading Democratic contenders each are locked in a dead heat with President Trump, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds: 46 percent for Trump to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with 45 percent; Trump at 46 percent to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 45 percent; 44 – 44 percent between Trump and California Sen. Kamala Harris; 44 – 44 percent between Trump and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg; 44 percent for Trump to 43 percent for New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker. Women, black voters and independent voters give Biden his lead in the matchup with Trump. Biden leads 53 – 40 percent among women, as men are split with 46 percent for Biden and 45 percent for Trump. White voters are divided, with 48 percent for Trump and 45 percent for Biden. Black voters go Democratic 84 – 8 percent. Independent voters go to Biden 55 – 32 percent. Republicans back Trump 86 – 10 percent as Biden leads 96 – 2 percent among Democrats. “Former Vice President Joseph Biden calls himself a blue-collar guy. With Ohio certainly a blue-collar state, it is no surprise he is the Democrat who runs best against President Donald Trump and is solidly ahead in the Democratic primary in the Buckeye State,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

  • March 18, 2020 Senator Elizabeth Warren United States Senate 309
    March 18, 2020 Senator Elizabeth Warren United States Senate 309 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Warren: On behalf of the Massachusetts Medical Society, representing over 25,000 physicians, residents, and medical students in the Commonwealth, I write to thank you for your letter urging Secretary Azar and Assistant Secretary Kadlec to respond to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s request for personal protective equipment (PPE) from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). Massachusetts is currently facing an imminent, dire shortage of PPE, posing a substantial risk to our front-line health care workers and impeding the medical community’s collective ability to effectively respond to the crisis. While we greatly appreciate the diligent efforts of our Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the shortage of PPE is becoming a critical threat, especially as hospitalizations for COVID-19 patients have increased dramatically, in some instances quadrupling overnight. It’s not just hospital systems that are facing shortages. The Medical Society continues to receive increasingly distressed inquiries from smaller physician practices as well. In one such instance, a small physician practice on the North Shore has the testing capability to address high demand for testing among sick patients but is down to three N95 masks. Because of this shortage in PPE, this practice is not able to maximally utilize the test kits they possess while also keeping their staff safe from potential exposure. While meaningful efforts have been made to preserve existing supplies, through expansion of the use of telehealth and mandated cancellation of non-essential elective procedures, additional PPE will no doubt remain critical.

Schumer Senate Majority Leader Senate Minority Leader Room S-230, U.S. Capitol Room S-221, U.S. Capitol Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Richard Shelby The Honorable Patrick Leahy Chairman Vice Chairman Senate Appropriations Committee Senate Appropriations Committee Room S-128, U.S. Capitol Room S-128, U.S. Capitol Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leader McConnell, Leader Schumer, Chairman Shelby, and Vice Chairman Leahy: As Congress considers additional relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we urge you to prioritize nutrition programs for older adults. Specifically, we request that the next COVID-19 relief package include $1.1 billion in funding for Older Americans Act (OAA) programs, including $750 million for OAA Nutrition Services, which critically support the delivery of nutritious meals to older adults throughout the country. The COVID-19 pandemic is disproportionately impacting older adults. With the closure of congregate meal sites and the steep increase in newly homebound older adults, there is now a higher demand for OAA Programs, such as Home Delivered Meals and other community-based supportive services. According to the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a), 93 percent of Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) have reported serving more clients since the pandemic began, and 69 percent of AAAs saw an increase in demand for their supportive services. In addition, Meals on Wheels America members are serving an average of 77 percent more meals to 47 percent more seniors since March, with virtually all programs having seen the cost of providing services increase.
