The Melting Pot, so called--corner that is Irish, Chinese, Italian (or Sicilian) and Jewish

Bernard Baruch is perfect example of how a vicious robber baron ( he used to boast of new ways he had had found to strip search gold miners when they were leaving work) can buy his way into the Upper Echelons and have colleges and streets named after him. Like the Great Gatsby, except old Bernie would never be so stupid as to risk anything for a Daisy Buchanan...women like her, are, after all, a dime a dozen in the U.S. when you think about it.
