...When I saw the will, it was mind blowing, such an unexpected windfall," says Yeshiva's president, Norman Lamm, who revealed the gift at his school's annual Hanukkah dinner. "This woman has become a legend overnight, and her name will live on for generations...
...have considered or still are considering mounting such a bid: Democratic Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey; Lowell Weicker, the former Republican Senator and Independent Governor of Connecticut; and former Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas, who ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992.
