Brooke Astor 1902-2007

It's hard to imagine the world without Brooke Astor. By the time the Astor Foundation wrapped up its affairs about ten years ago, she had given away nearly 200 million bucks to improve the lot of her fellow New Yorkers. Truly the last of a breed in the class of the Rockefellers, Carnegies and Fords.

Can you imagine Donald Trump or his kids being that charitable?

Don't be ridiculous.
