Quarto full pebbled black leather good copy with recent black cloth covering spine some rubbing and edgewear to boards contents very good handsome printing INSCRIBED by Weil to his grandson Richard Allan Weil. 111 pp with transcriptions of the testimonial speeches and toasts menu and many pages of letters and telegrams received by a member of the dinner committee Maurice Falk testifying to Weil's rightfully large group of admirers: acquaintances fellow lawyers members of the Jewish community of Pittsburgh and beyond who celebrated his life and achievements. Weil was probably the most well known trial lawyer in Pittsburgh at the turn of the century. An article in the July 7 2020 Post-Gazette by Barbara Burstin recounts Weil's reform-minded politics and how he was able to direct the investigation into the city council of Pittsburgh and their corruption. "By June 1910 105 of the 155 councilmembers were accused of graft. Ninety-eight were indicted along with seven bankers. Many went to jail." He also was responsible for pushing through new charters that reduced city council to nine members and the school board to the same number and continued to uncover the corruption in the highest tiers of Pittsburgh's political class well into the 1920s. He died in 1938 at the age of 80. Letters received include one from Ida Tarbell. OCLC locates three copies: Pitt Hebrew Union College University of VA law library. unknown

Inscribed on the fep and signed by Gillibrand on the title page. Inscription reads Patrick & Marcella: Thank you for your extraordinary leadership and commitment to saving others. With much admiration Kirsten. Foreword by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Kirsten Elizabeth Gillibrand née Rutnik; born December 9 1966 is an American lawyer and politician serving as the junior United States senator from New York since 2009. A member of the Democratic Party she served as member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2007 to 2009. Born and raised in upstate New York Gillibrand graduated from Dartmouth College and from the UCLA School of Law. After holding positions in government and private practice and working on Hillary Clinton's 2000 U.S. Senate campaign Gillibrand was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2006. She represented New York's 20th congressional district and was reelected in 2008. During her House tenure Gillibrand was a Blue Dog Democrat noted for voting against the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. After Clinton was appointed U.S. Secretary of State in 2009 Governor David Paterson selected Gillibrand to fill the Senate seat Clinton had vacated making her New York's second female senator. Gillibrand won a special election in 2010 to keep the seat and was reelected to full terms in 2012 and 2018. During her Senate tenure Gillibrand has shifted to the left. She supports paid family leave a federal jobs guarantee and the replacement of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Off the Sidelines is a playbook for women who want to step up whether in Congress or the boardroom or the local PTA. If women were fully represented in politics Gillibrand says national priorities would shift to issues that directly impact them: affordable daycare paid family medical leave and equal pay. Pulling back the curtain on Beltway politics she speaks candidly about her legislative successes securing federally funded medical care for 9/11 first responders repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell and her crushing disappointments failing by five votes to pass a bill protecting survivors of sexual assault in the military. Gillibrand also shares stories of growing up the daughter and granddaughter of two trailblazing feminists in a politically active family in Albany New York and retraces her nonlinear path to public office. She lays bare the highs and lows of being a pregnant woman in Congress the joys and sacrifices every working mother shares and the support system she turns to in her darkest moments: her husband their two little boys and lots of girlfriends. In Off the Sidelines Gillibrand is the tough-love older sister and cheerleader every woman needs. She explains why 'ambition' is not a dirty word failure is a gift listening is the most effective tool and the debate over women 'having it all' is absurd. In her sharp honest and refreshingly relatable voice she dares us all to tap into our inner strength find personal fulfillment and speak up for what we believe in. Ballantine Books hardcover

From Wikipedia: "Andrew Thomas Weil born June 8 1942 is a teacher and writer on holistic health. He is founder professor and director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. He received both his medical degree and his undergraduate degree in biology from Harvard University and established the field of integrative medicine which aims to combine alternative and conventional medicine. Weil says that patients should take the Western medicine prescribed by the doctor and then incorporate alternative therapies such as omega-3 fatty acids vitamin D and herbal remedies meditation and other spiritual strategies. Some have criticized Weil for rejecting aspects of evidence-based medicine and promoting unverified beliefs. Weil appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in 1997 and again in 2005. He has written many books and a total of 10 million copies have been sold. These books include Spontaneous Healing 8 Weeks to Optimum Health Eating Well for Optimum Health The Healthy Kitchen Healthy Aging and Why Our Health Matters. He has been a frequent guest on the Larry King Live Oprah and the Today Show." From an on-line posting: "Rosie Daley was born in New Jersey.

A history of the U.S. Foreign Service's most outstanding personalities of the 20th century and their struggle with Franklin D. Roosevelt over how to handle Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The Index indicates substantial discussion of Dean Acheson Ray Atherton Charles Bohlen James Byrnes James Dunn George F. Kennan Hugh Gibson Loy Henderson Cordell Hull Robert Murphy William Phillips Sumner Welles Edward Stettinius and Yalta Conference. The United States Foreign Service is the primary personnel system used by the diplomatic service of the United States federal government under the aegis of the United States Department of State. It consists of over 13000 professionals carrying out the foreign policy of the United States and aiding U.S. citizens abroad. The current Director General is Carol Z. Perez. Created in 1924 by the Rogers Act the Foreign Service combined all consular and diplomatic services of the U.S. government into one administrative unit. In addition to the unit's function the Rogers Act defined a personnel system under which the United States Secretary of State is authorized to assign diplomats abroad. Members of the Foreign Service are selected through a series of written and oral examinations. They serve at any of the 265 United States diplomatic missions around the world including embassies consulates and other facilities. Members of the Foreign Service also staff the headquarters of the four foreign affairs agencies: the Department of State headquartered at the Harry S Truman Building in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington D.C.; the Department of Agriculture; the Department of Commerce; and the United States Agency for International Development. The United States Foreign Service is managed by a Director General an official who is appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Director General is traditionally a current or former Foreign Service Officer. Congress created the position of Director General of the Foreign Service through the Foreign Service Act of 1946. Between 1946 and 1980 the Director General was designated by the Secretary of State. The first Director General Selden Chapin held the position for less than six months before being replaced by Christian M. Ravndal who held the position of Director General until June of 1949. Both men were Career FSOs. W. W. Norton & Company, Inc hardcover
