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.

CNBC does a great wrap-up of Super Saturday Live last weekend, the Hamptons designer event broadcast on QVC to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Kudos to all the wonderful people that put this event together!

Media Alert: I'm quoted in this CNN Money story comparing private equity philanthropy overseas and in the US: "Private equity: Scrooge no longer."
My quote: "Private equity firms are very concerned about making any statements. They are being very circumspect," said Stephen Adler, chief executive of Charity Brands Marketing, a New York firm that advises private equity firms and hedge funds on giving. "They're all about being under the radar."
CNN journalist Grace Wong makes an excellent point about US private equity philanthropists needing to take a page from their counterparts across the pond.
