| Bloomberg Picks Quadrangle Asset Management
As part of an agreement with the city's Conflicts of Interest Board, Mayor Bloomberg has chosen Quadrangle Asset Management LP to manage his investments and those of the Bloomberg Family Foundation, officials said yesterday. Financier Steven Rattner, a friend of Mr. Bloomberg's, runs the Quadrangle Group, the New York Times reported. Mr. Rattner has been a supporter of Senator Clinton's presidential campaign, the Times said. Mr. Bloomberg is considered a potential presidential candidate who would be expected to spend as much as $1 billion on a self-financed campaign should he run. Mr. Bloomberg sought an opinion from the conflicts board to diversify his investments. Under the ruling, he is allowed to invest in hedge funds, real estate, and private equity funds, among other areas, so long as the identities of the money managers and their investment picks are not shared with him.
Brooke Berman: Apartment Hunting as Art
In a city in which real estate is an obsession, Brooke Berman's experience is so unique, she felt compelled to turn it into a play. After all, how many New Yorkers can say that they've lived in more than 30 apartments around the city? Berman's new play, Hunting and Gathering, now having its world premiere at Primary Stages at 59E59 Theaters with an enviable cast (Mamie Gummer, Keira Naughton, Jeremy Shamos and Michael Chernus) directed by Leigh Silverman, follows four young New Yorkers in search of "their place." It's a topic that Berman, a Juilliard graduate who began her career as a solo performer, has obviously thought about a lot—and her lyrical Broadway.com essay gives an intriguing (and personal) preview of how the idea of "coming home" can be presented on an off-Broadway stage.
Holocaust Museum founder Lerman dies
Miles Lerman, who fought against the Nazis in Poland and later helped found the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., has died. He was 88. Lerman's wife, Rosalie, confirmed Wednesday that he died Tuesday at his home in Philadelphia. Lerman was a member of a prosperous family whose flour mills were seized by the Nazis. Lerman escaped from a slave labor camp and fought the Nazis with other partisans for nearly two years in the forests of Poland. "Our job was to raise havoc, to raise hell with them and survive," he once told The Philadelphia Inquirer. Lerman and his wife immigrated to New York City in 1947. He worked as a grocery warehouse clerk in Brooklyn, N.Y., then had a chicken farm in Vineland, N.J. He later started a home heating oil business that grew into a major distributorship, and invested in real estate.
Colorado Springs fights to keep USOC
COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. 16 The U.S. Olympic Committee wants the city of Colorado Springs to provide 90,000 square feet of office space and 200 new residences for it to stay put.
City officials Monday told developers the national Olympics movement organization required a mix of apartments, townhouses and dormitory-style accommodations for married and single athletes in addition to 90,000 square feet of new downtown administrative office space, the Colorado Springs (Colo.) Gazette reported Tuesday.
Two of four local real-estate firms have submitted proposals to provide new USOC facilities in town in a bid to keep the organizing committee from moving its headquarters, with 240 employees, and Olympic Training Center away.
The USOC moved to Colorado Springs from New York City in 1978.
