LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, We have just completed one of the most exciting seasons in the Historical Society’s proud history. In September, we co-hosted the National Dinner marking the close of the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Jewish settlement in America. In this issue of Heritage, we have printed some of the Dinner’s proceedings, featuring President George W. Bush’s address to the American Jewish community. Also in September, we closed our monumental exhibition in New York on the American Jewish experience from 1654 to the present and opened a second such exhibition in Boston. And, we presented Ed Koch, the former mayor of New York, with our distin- IN THIS ISSUE guished Emma Lazarus Statue of Liberty Award.

We’ve also discovered some players who are Jewish who were not included in the original set, such as Hall of Fame player-manager Lou 6 Presidential Dinner Boudreau. In January 2006, we will close the Boston exhibition and open ‘Cradled in 16 Chanukah American Style Judea’: Jewish Orphanages in New York City, 1860 – 1960, at the Center for Jewish History in New York.

    Punctuation and Sentence Structure

    PUNCTUATION AND SENTENCE STRUCTURE Insert commas in the paragraphs below wherever they are needed, and eliminate any misused or needless commas. Ellis Island New York has reopened for business but now the customers are tourists not immigrants. This spot which lies in New York Harbor was the first American soil seen, or touched by many of the nation’s immigrants. Though other places also served as ports of entry for foreigners none has the symbolic power or Ellis Island. Between its opening in 1892 and its closing in 1954, over 20 million people about two thirds of all immigrants were detained there before taking up their new lives in the United States. Ellis Island processed over 2000 newcomers a day when immigration was at its peak between 1900 and 1920. As the end of a long voyage and the introduction to the New World Ellis Island must have left something to be desired. The “huddled masses” as the Statue of Liberty calls them indeed were huddled. New arrivals were herded about kept standing in lines for hours or days yelled at and abused. Assigned numbers they submitted their bodies to the poking and prodding of the silent slightest sign of sickness, disability or insanity. That test having been passed the immigrants faced interrogation by an official through an interpreter. Those with names deemed inconveniently long or difficult to pronounce, often found themselves permanently labeled with abbreviations of their names, or with the examination humiliation and confusion, to take the last short boat ride to New York City. For many of them and especially for their descendants Ellis Island eventually became not a nightmare but the place where life began.

BIVONA** INTRODUCTION The Delaware Supreme Court delivered its final opinion in the highly publicized case, Brehm v. Eisner (the Disney case), which involved the firing without cause of Disney's president, Michael Ovitz., This not- for-cause termination resulted in a $130 million severance package after only fourteen months of service.2 Ovitz's termination was effected on Disney's behalf by its chief executive officer (CEO) Michael Eisner.3 The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the chancery court's decision, ruling that the business judgment rule protected the decision to terminate Ovitz, and the accompanying severance payment.4 Consequently, the defendant directors and officers did not violate their fiduciary duties or commit waste.5 Much scholarly writing has been * Rupert and Lillian Radford Professor and Senior Associate Dean for Research, Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law.
