Brooke Astor Dead at 105

RIP to Brooke Astor, a great lady who did so much to enrich New York's museums, libraries, boys' and girls' clubs, homes for the elderly, churches, landmarks and other institutions and programs. Here's hoping that our new century brings more heiresses in the mold of Brooke Astor than Paris Hilton. Astor gave so much to New York, and our city is richer for it.
