I was born on the ninth, a day I share with such ideological opposites as that Mississippi helmet head Trent Lott—and the late Beatle John Lennon. Together they could have written “I Want To Hold Your Senate Bill.” It’s actor Fyvush Finkel’s birthday too. And all on a day that this year encompasses Yom Kippur and Columbus Day. As David Letterman asked of the current New York Senatorial candidate Hillary Clinton, “So is she Jewish or Italian on this day?”
