sdelmonteNew York socialite and philanthropist Brooke Astor has <href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/us/08/13/astor.obit.ap/index.html?eref=rss_topstories"> passed away. At the age of 105 (though she was ill for some time).
We in New York are much richer for having had her presence here, as she donated millions to charities large and small, most notably the New York Public Library. Any time I can take a book out of the library, she had something to do with it.
