Greenspan is an American economist who served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States from 1987 to 2006. First appointed Federal Reserve chairman by President Ronald Reagan in August 1987, he was reappointed at successive four-year intervals until retiring on January 31, 2006 after the second-longest tenure in the position. His father Herbert Greenspan was of Romanian-Jewish descent and his mother Rose Goldsmith of Hungarian-Jewish descent.
NOT JEWISH. The first Sec. of the Treasury of the US was not Jewish. EVERY scholarly biography concurs on this. His non-Jewish mother was married to a Jewish man. They split. His father was a non-Jewish Scot named Hamilton. The story is fascinating because Hamilton did attend a Jewish school. The editor of Jewhoo will respond to no letters on this subject, unless the writer is prepared to send a reference to a first-class recognized historian who asserts otherwise. The matter is concluded. For more info:http://www.sefarad.org/publication/lm/035/15.html

60s radical activist who had a great sense of humor. Co-founder of "Yippies". Chicago Eight Defendant (3, maybe 4 were Jewish). Called the grotesquely unfair trial Judge-(Julius Hoffman-Jewish) a "shonda for the g-yim". Annoyed him by claiming to be his illegitimate son. Abbie was fun.
