...through the voluntary program in 2008 are some of the nation's most élite private schools. One of the largest recipients of Goldman money in 2008 was New Jersey private school Rumson Country Day School. Also on the list are Choate Rosemary Hall, Lawrenceville and Spence. Top colleges got their share of Goldman largesse as well. Harvard, Stanford Graduate School of Business, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago all got over $150,000 in donations from Goldman employees.

Lewis agreed, noting to FlyBy that “she’s written a lot about the Harvard in Russia scandal that I mentioned in my piece...
...kept seeing Lewis' name pop up. Realizing he and Lewis were "practically neighbors" (Lewis moved to Cambridge after being released from prison), Nicholson met up with Lewis for a private, untaped interview in July 2007. He pounded Lewis with questions about the Tylenol killings until, Nicholson said, Lewis got pretty angry. Yet surprisingly, Lewis then granted Nicholson a public interview later that year...
