Mayor Cory Booker - Hope & Possibility


Sometimes the guests on Meet the Press are earnest but humdrum. This morning, I sat up and noticed Mayor Cory Booker.




In case you don't know Mayor Booker, here is his impressive background, in a nutshell:

"Young Booker earned bachelor's and master's degrees in 1991 and 1992, both from Stanford University, where he was a tight end on the football team. He attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in 1994. At Oxford Booker became the first non-Jewish president of the L'Chaim Society after befriending Rabbi Shmuley Boteach. Booker obtained his law degree from Yale University in 1997, but shunned law firms and Wall Street for a public fellowship, wanting to help people in need. He moved to Newark while attending Yale Law School."  "Cory Booker." Biography Resource Center Online. Gale, 2007.
