      This I did not know.

      A Yale-educated lawyer, Mr. Lieberman began his political career in 1970 by unseating Ed Marcus, the Connecticut State Senate’s Democratic majority leader. He credited a young Yale law student on his staff, Bill Clinton, with engineering his crucial primary victory.

        I saw a story that if there was a vote or something else that required his presence on Capitol Hill on a Saturday, he would walk to work, because Shabbat.

        A truly principled man.

        Rest in peace, humble public servant.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            As others said, a principled man. A loss for us.
