Quote of the Day

<h4>“These are, as far as I’m concerned, the everyday things and
courtesies that are done in life.”</h4><br>

—Andrew P. O'Rourke, then Westchester County (NY) Executive, after
admitting that he had sought a job for his son-in-law (and an
admission interview for his daughter) at a medical college that had
a contract with the county; had recommended his domestic partner for
a job with the county's medical insurer; and had "looked the other
way" when his daughter was hired by the county's malpractice law
firm. Since Westchester County had no government ethics program, his
ethical misconduct was the subject of criminal enforcement, and he
was cleared of all charges. From <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/05/nyregion/andrew-p-orourke-longtime-we…; target="”_blank”">Mr. O'Rourke's obituary in today's
