As the world knows by now, the married New York Democrat stepped down after tweeting lewd chats and photos of his nether regions in various stages of undress to young women who were not his wife.

Advertising is the subject which he, and his predecessor Berlin, emphasized ([Jack I. Fishbein]'s "Message to Our Readers" in the Nov. 18, 1943 issue encouraged Jewish groups and readers to increase their subscriptions and advertising, while an editorial on The Importance of Passover Greetings" appeared on Feb. 27, 1947).
