abraham alexander ribicoff (april 9, 1910 – february 22, 1998) was an american democratic party politician from the state of connecticut.he represented connecticut in the united states house of representatives and senate and was the 80th governor of connecticut and secretary of health, education, and welfare in president john f. kennedy's cabinet.he was connecticut's first and to date only jewish governor.ribicoff's relatively poor parents valued education and insisted that all his earnings from part-time boyhood jobs go toward his future schooling.after high school, he worked for a year at a nearby zipper factory of the g. e. prentice company to earn additional funds for college.ribicoff enrolled at new york university in 1928, then transferred to the university of chicago after the prentice company made him the chicago office manager.while in chicago, ribicoff coped with school and work schedules and was permitted to enter the university's law school before finishing his undergraduate degree.still a student, he married ruth siegel on june 28, 1931; they had two children.ribicoff served as editor of the university of chicago law review in his third year and received an llb cum laude in 1933, being admitted to the connecticut bar the same year.after practicing law in the office of a hartford lawyer, ribicoff set up his practice, first in kensington and later in hartford.from 1941 to 1943 and again from 1945 to 1947 he was the judge of hartford police court.during his political career, ribicoff was a protégé of john moran bailey, the powerful chairman of the democratic party of connecticut.during that time, he served on the foreign affairs committee, a position usually reserved for members with more seniority, and was a mostly loyal supporter of the foreign and domestic policies of president harry s. truman's administration.generally liberal in his outlook, he surprised many by opposing a $32 million appropriation for the construction of a dam in enfield, connecticut, arguing that the money was better spent on military needs and foreign policy initiatives such as the marshall plan.in 1952 he made an unsuccessful bid for election to fill a vacancy in the united states senate, losing to prescott bush.as governor (1955–1961), ribicoff soon faced the challenge of rebuilding his state in the wake of devastating floods that occurred in the late summer and fall of 1955, and he successfully led bipartisan efforts to aid damaged areas.ribicoff then successfully argued for increased state spending on schools and welfare programs.he also supported an amendment to the state constitution that enhanced the governing powers of local municipalities.easily reelected in 1958, ribicoff had by now become active on the national political scene.a longtime friend of massachusetts senator john f. kennedy, ribicoff had nominated his fellow new englander for vice president at the 1956 democratic national convention and was one of the first public officials to endorse kennedy's presidential campaign.he reportedly declined the position of attorney general for fear that he might create needless controversy within the emerging civil rights movement because he was jewish, and he instead chose to be secretary of health, education, and welfare (hew).although he managed to secure a revision of the 1935 social security act that liberalized requirements for aid to dependent children, ribicoff was unable to gain approval for the administration's medicare and school aid bills.eventually, he tired of attempting to manage the department, whose very size made it, in his opinion, unmanageable.ribicoff reflected that he had sought out the position of hew secretary mainly out of concern for education and 'realized that the problems of health and welfare were so overriding that education was relegated to the back burner' during his tenure. | saiva | nipples | unhackled | no related information |

green is the color between cyan and yellow on the visible spectrum.it is evoked by light which has a dominant wavelength of roughly 495–570 nm.in subtractive color systems, used in painting and color printing, it is created by a combination of yellow and cyan; in the rgb color model, used on television and computer screens, it is one of the additive primary colors, along with red and blue, which are mixed in different combinations to create all other colors.by far the largest contributor to green in nature is chlorophyll, the chemical by which plants photosynthesize and convert sunlight into chemical energy.many creatures have adapted to their green environments by taking on a green hue themselves as camouflage.several minerals have a green color, including the emerald, which is colored green by its chromium content.during post-classical and early modern europe, green was the color commonly associated with wealth, merchants, bankers, and the gentry, while red was reserved for the nobility.for this reason, the costume of the mona lisa by leonardo da vinci and the benches in the british house of commons are green while those in the house of lords are red.it also has a long historical tradition as the color of ireland and of gaelic culture.it is the historic color of islam, representing the lush vegetation of paradise.it was the color of the banner of muhammad, and is found in the flags of nearly all islamic countries.in surveys made in american, european, and islamic countries, green is the color most commonly associated with nature, life, health, youth, spring, hope, and envy.in the european union and the united states, green is also sometimes associated with toxicity and poor health, but in china and most of asia, its associations are very positive, as the symbol of fertility and happiness.because of its association with nature, it is the color of the environmental movement.political groups advocating environmental protection and social justice describe themselves as part of the green movement, some naming themselves green parties.this has led to similar campaigns in advertising, as companies have sold green, or environmentally friendly, products.green is also the traditional color of safety and permission; a green light means go ahead, a green card permits permanent residence in the united states.it is from a common germanic *gronja-, which is also reflected in old norse grænn, old high german gruoni (but unattested in east germanic), ultimately from a pie root *ghre- 'to grow', and root-cognate with grass and to grow.the first recorded use of the word as a color term in old english dates to ca.ad 700.latin with viridis also has a genuine and widely used term for 'green'.related to virere 'to grow' and ver 'spring', it gave rise to words in several romance languages, french vert, italian verde (and english vert, verdure etc.).likewise the slavic languages with zelenъ.ancient greek also had a term for yellowish, pale green – χλωρός, chloros (cf.the color of chlorine), cognate with χλοερός 'verdant' and χλόη 'chloe, the green of new growth'.thus, the languages mentioned above (germanic, romance, slavic, greek) have old terms for 'green' which are derived from words for fresh, sprouting vegetation.however, comparative linguistics makes clear that these terms were coined independently, over the past few millennia, and there is no identifiable single proto-indo-european or word for 'green'.for example, the slavic zelenъ is cognate with sanskrit hari 'yellow, ochre, golden'.the turkic languages also have jašɨl 'green' or 'yellowish green', compared to a mongolian word for 'meadow'.the chinese character 青 (pronounced qīng in mandarin, ao in japanese, and thanh in sino-vietnamese) has a meaning that covers both blue and green; blue and green are traditionally considered shades of '青'. | lupinosis | oblivions | refluxed | no related information |

green is the color between cyan and yellow on the visible spectrum.it is evoked by light which has a dominant wavelength of roughly 495–570 nm.in subtractive color systems, used in painting and color printing, it is created by a combination of yellow and cyan; in the rgb color model, used on television and computer screens, it is one of the additive primary colors, along with red and blue, which are mixed in different combinations to create all other colors.by far the largest contributor to green in nature is chlorophyll, the chemical by which plants photosynthesize and convert sunlight into chemical energy.many creatures have adapted to their green environments by taking on a green hue themselves as camouflage.several minerals have a green color, including the emerald, which is colored green by its chromium content.during post-classical and early modern europe, green was the color commonly associated with wealth, merchants, bankers, and the gentry, while red was reserved for the nobility.for this reason, the costume of the mona lisa by leonardo da vinci and the benches in the british house of commons are green while those in the house of lords are red.it also has a long historical tradition as the color of ireland and of gaelic culture.it is the historic color of islam, representing the lush vegetation of paradise.it was the color of the banner of muhammad, and is found in the flags of nearly all islamic countries.in surveys made in american, european, and islamic countries, green is the color most commonly associated with nature, life, health, youth, spring, hope, and envy.in the european union and the united states, green is also sometimes associated with toxicity and poor health, but in china and most of asia, its associations are very positive, as the symbol of fertility and happiness.because of its association with nature, it is the color of the environmental movement.political groups advocating environmental protection and social justice describe themselves as part of the green movement, some naming themselves green parties.this has led to similar campaigns in advertising, as companies have sold green, or environmentally friendly, products.green is also the traditional color of safety and permission; a green light means go ahead, a green card permits permanent residence in the united states.it is from a common germanic *gronja-, which is also reflected in old norse grænn, old high german gruoni (but unattested in east germanic), ultimately from a pie root *ghre- 'to grow', and root-cognate with grass and to grow.the first recorded use of the word as a color term in old english dates to ca.ad 700.latin with viridis also has a genuine and widely used term for 'green'.related to virere 'to grow' and ver 'spring', it gave rise to words in several romance languages, french vert, italian verde (and english vert, verdure etc.).likewise the slavic languages with zelenъ.ancient greek also had a term for yellowish, pale green – χλωρός, chloros (cf.the color of chlorine), cognate with χλοερός 'verdant' and χλόη 'chloe, the green of new growth'.thus, the languages mentioned above (germanic, romance, slavic, greek) have old terms for 'green' which are derived from words for fresh, sprouting vegetation.however, comparative linguistics makes clear that these terms were coined independently, over the past few millennia, and there is no identifiable single proto-indo-european or word for 'green'.for example, the slavic zelenъ is cognate with sanskrit hari 'yellow, ochre, golden'.the turkic languages also have jašɨl 'green' or 'yellowish green', compared to a mongolian word for 'meadow'.the chinese character 青 (pronounced qīng in mandarin, ao in japanese, and thanh in sino-vietnamese) has a meaning that covers both blue and green; blue and green are traditionally considered shades of '青'. | zayin | parthenocarpy | argalis | no related information |

abraham alexander ribicoff (april 9, 1910 – february 22, 1998) was an american democratic party politician from the state of connecticut.he represented connecticut in the united states house of representatives and senate and was the 80th governor of connecticut and secretary of health, education, and welfare in president john f. kennedy's cabinet.he was connecticut's first and to date only jewish governor.ribicoff's relatively poor parents valued education and insisted that all his earnings from part-time boyhood jobs go toward his future schooling.after high school, he worked for a year at a nearby zipper factory of the g. e. prentice company to earn additional funds for college.ribicoff enrolled at new york university in 1928, then transferred to the university of chicago after the prentice company made him the chicago office manager.while in chicago, ribicoff coped with school and work schedules and was permitted to enter the university's law school before finishing his undergraduate degree.still a student, he married ruth siegel on june 28, 1931; they had two children.ribicoff served as editor of the university of chicago law review in his third year and received an llb cum laude in 1933, being admitted to the connecticut bar the same year.after practicing law in the office of a hartford lawyer, ribicoff set up his practice, first in kensington and later in hartford.from 1941 to 1943 and again from 1945 to 1947 he was the judge of hartford police court.during his political career, ribicoff was a protégé of john moran bailey, the powerful chairman of the democratic party of connecticut.during that time, he served on the foreign affairs committee, a position usually reserved for members with more seniority, and was a mostly loyal supporter of the foreign and domestic policies of president harry s. truman's administration.generally liberal in his outlook, he surprised many by opposing a $32 million appropriation for the construction of a dam in enfield, connecticut, arguing that the money was better spent on military needs and foreign policy initiatives such as the marshall plan.in 1952 he made an unsuccessful bid for election to fill a vacancy in the united states senate, losing to prescott bush.as governor (1955–1961), ribicoff soon faced the challenge of rebuilding his state in the wake of devastating floods that occurred in the late summer and fall of 1955, and he successfully led bipartisan efforts to aid damaged areas.ribicoff then successfully argued for increased state spending on schools and welfare programs.he also supported an amendment to the state constitution that enhanced the governing powers of local municipalities.easily reelected in 1958, ribicoff had by now become active on the national political scene.a longtime friend of massachusetts senator john f. kennedy, ribicoff had nominated his fellow new englander for vice president at the 1956 democratic national convention and was one of the first public officials to endorse kennedy's presidential campaign.he reportedly declined the position of attorney general for fear that he might create needless controversy within the emerging civil rights movement because he was jewish, and he instead chose to be secretary of health, education, and welfare (hew).although he managed to secure a revision of the 1935 social security act that liberalized requirements for aid to dependent children, ribicoff was unable to gain approval for the administration's medicare and school aid bills.eventually, he tired of attempting to manage the department, whose very size made it, in his opinion, unmanageable.ribicoff reflected that he had sought out the position of hew secretary mainly out of concern for education and 'realized that the problems of health and welfare were so overriding that education was relegated to the back burner' during his tenure. | gong | alocasia | audacious <tsp> gong | imbonity | combinatoric | no related information |

103 colmore row is a 108-metre tall, 26-storey commercial office skyscraper located on colmore row, birmingham, england.completed in 2021, this building replaced the former natwest tower designed by john madin and completed in 1975.in 2008, a plan by then owners british land to demolish natwest tower and replace it with a taller modern equivalent was approved.this plan never progressed and in 2015 the building passed to the developer sterling property ventures, who successfully applied to have the building demolished.construction of the new tower began in june 2019 and completed in 2021.103 colmore row is the tallest office building in the united kingdom outside london to be constructed since the completion of alpha tower, also in birmingham, in 1973.designed by john madin, it is of the brutalist style, contrasting the traditional victorian architectural styles in the immediate area.although, the pre-cast concrete panels on the exterior, which were common on commercial buildings of the time, rather than in-situ concrete did make the building differ from classic brutalism.designs for the building were first publicised in 1964 and it was remarked that it had drawn inspiration from the university of pittsburgh by louis kahn.the designs showed a two-storey banking hall with a rectangular tower with horizontal ribbon windows.it also showed a service tower facing on to newhall street.this design differed significantly to the one that was approved by birmingham city council.the scheme also included a five-storey office block to the west of the site that was separated from it by an l-shaped courtyard.this office block was later reclad and increased to eight storeys in 1996-7 so that it reads as a separate building.the entire scheme was named the 'colmore centre'.the first phase of the scheme, which consisted of the construction of the banking hall, was completed in 1969.construction of the tower began in 1973 and was completed three years later at a total cost of £3.5 million.the building was constructed so that it was not solely occupied by the national westminster bank, but could also be let to tenants so that the bank could maximise the profitability of the site.however, the building proved difficult to let and was never fully occupied; the only major corporation to take office space in the tower was eversheds.the building has been vacant since 2003.there were numerous interesting features, including the original aluminium-cast banking hall doors, created and made by henry haig (1930 – 6 december 2007), who was an english abstract artist, painter and sculptor but notable predominantly for his stained glass work, which consisted of an abstract triangle design based on the natwest logo and were painted to resemble bronze.the banking hall itself had a coffered ceiling of plasterboard covered in gold leaf and travertine marble floors and skirtings.the exterior was covered in abstract plaster murals and bronze matt ceramic tiles.the lift shaft and two ventilation towers were constructed using brick.the structure was constructed of precast concrete with waffle concrete floor slabs.there were four plant floors at the top of the tower and 100 car park spaces in a basement car park that became disused upon the discovery of asbestos.the office block was accessed via a stainless steel surround doorway on newhall street, where the land began to drop, exposing the ventilation grills for the basement.the entrance here appeared to be of a later date to the rest of the building.the office block had a service core at the centre of each floor, consisting of a large service duct, lavatories, four lift shafts and staircase. | 103 colmore row | architecturalstyle | brutalist architecture | no related information |

abraham alexander ribicoff (april 9, 1910 – february 22, 1998) was an american democratic party politician from the state of connecticut.he represented connecticut in the united states house of representatives and senate and was the 80th governor of connecticut and secretary of health, education, and welfare in president john f. kennedy's cabinet.he was connecticut's first and to date only jewish governor.ribicoff's relatively poor parents valued education and insisted that all his earnings from part-time boyhood jobs go toward his future schooling.after high school, he worked for a year at a nearby zipper factory of the g. e. prentice company to earn additional funds for college.ribicoff enrolled at new york university in 1928, then transferred to the university of chicago after the prentice company made him the chicago office manager.while in chicago, ribicoff coped with school and work schedules and was permitted to enter the university's law school before finishing his undergraduate degree.still a student, he married ruth siegel on june 28, 1931; they had two children.ribicoff served as editor of the university of chicago law review in his third year and received an llb cum laude in 1933, being admitted to the connecticut bar the same year.after practicing law in the office of a hartford lawyer, ribicoff set up his practice, first in kensington and later in hartford.from 1941 to 1943 and again from 1945 to 1947 he was the judge of hartford police court.during his political career, ribicoff was a protégé of john moran bailey, the powerful chairman of the democratic party of connecticut.during that time, he served on the foreign affairs committee, a position usually reserved for members with more seniority, and was a mostly loyal supporter of the foreign and domestic policies of president harry s. truman's administration.generally liberal in his outlook, he surprised many by opposing a $32 million appropriation for the construction of a dam in enfield, connecticut, arguing that the money was better spent on military needs and foreign policy initiatives such as the marshall plan.in 1952 he made an unsuccessful bid for election to fill a vacancy in the united states senate, losing to prescott bush.as governor (1955–1961), ribicoff soon faced the challenge of rebuilding his state in the wake of devastating floods that occurred in the late summer and fall of 1955, and he successfully led bipartisan efforts to aid damaged areas.ribicoff then successfully argued for increased state spending on schools and welfare programs.he also supported an amendment to the state constitution that enhanced the governing powers of local municipalities.easily reelected in 1958, ribicoff had by now become active on the national political scene.a longtime friend of massachusetts senator john f. kennedy, ribicoff had nominated his fellow new englander for vice president at the 1956 democratic national convention and was one of the first public officials to endorse kennedy's presidential campaign.he reportedly declined the position of attorney general for fear that he might create needless controversy within the emerging civil rights movement because he was jewish, and he instead chose to be secretary of health, education, and welfare (hew).although he managed to secure a revision of the 1935 social security act that liberalized requirements for aid to dependent children, ribicoff was unable to gain approval for the administration's medicare and school aid bills.eventually, he tired of attempting to manage the department, whose very size made it, in his opinion, unmanageable.ribicoff reflected that he had sought out the position of hew secretary mainly out of concern for education and 'realized that the problems of health and welfare were so overriding that education was relegated to the back burner' during his tenure. | dirties | andamento | degradational <tsp> dirties | cogware | embedder | no related information |

weymouth sands is a novel by john cowper powys, which was written in rural upper new york state and published in february 1934 in new york city by simon and schuster.it was published in britain as jobber skald in 1935 by john lane.weymouth sands was the third of john cowper powys's so-called wessex novels, which include wolf solent (1929), a glastonbury romance (1932), and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of novelist and poet thomas hardy, and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, part of hardy's mythical wessex.american scholar richard maxwell describes these four novels 'as remarkably successful with the reading public of his time'.the setting of this novel is the english seaside town of weymouth, dorset.weymouth remained throughout powys's life the place where he was most at home and '[a]lways in [his] memory was the pebbled seashore opposite brunswick terrace'.c.a.coates in her book on powys notes the importance of weymouth for his imagination, quoting from autobiography: 'every aspect of the weymouth coast sank into my mind with such a transubstantiating magic' that 'it is through the medium of these things that i envisage all the experiences of my life'.when he died in 1963 powys's ashes were scattered on nearby chesil beach.powys notes in his diary on valentine's day 1932 that 'i'm really going to begin my weymouth book' and he also records that he had been given 'hardy's well-beloved by his lover phyllis playter, a novel which is set in on the isle of portland where jobber skald, the protagonist of weymouth sands, comes from.weymouth sands is the title of the american first edition and an english edition then appeared in 1935, but prior to its publication powys and his english publishers were successfully sued for libel by gerard hodgkinson, who claimed that the character of philip crow in a glastonbury romance had been based on him.the damages awarded crippled powys financially, and he was forced to make substantial changes to the british edition of weymouth sands.the title of the english version was changed to jobber skald (1935) and all references to the real-life weymouth were cut.'powys tells the story of jobber skald - a large, somewhat brutish man, obsessed with the urge to kill the local magnate of the town because of the man's contempt for the workers of the local quarry - and his redeeming love for perdita wane, a young girl from the channel islands.weymouth sands boasts a striking collection of human oddities including a famous clown, his mad brother, a naive latin teacher, a young philosopher, and an abortionist.'novelist margaret drabble comments, 'weymouth sands is a celebration of the seaside town [powys] had loved as a child, but its tone is far from innocent.the novel features a sinister clown figure and punch and judy shows: powys was not one to shy away from the suggestions of violence and child sex abuse that are now routinely associated with such entertainments.'the fusion of introspective analysis with an animistic sense of the elemental background of human life which he achieves in these books is unique in european literature.new york: simon & schuster, 1934 2nd impression, n.y. jobber skald, john lane: london,1935 london: macdonald, 1963 new york: harper & row, 1984, introduction by james purdy isbn 0-06-091164-6 cambridge: rivers press, 1973 introduction by angus wilson isbn 0-903747-04-9;

108 st georges terrace or south32 tower (formerly known as the bankwest tower, the bond tower and the r&i tower) is a 50-storey office tower in perth, western australia.completed in 1988, the building measures 214 metres (702 ft) to its roof and 247 metres (810 ft) to the tip of its communications antenna.it was the tallest building in perth from its completion in 1988 until 1992 when it was overtaken in height by central park.as of 2023, it is the third-tallest building in the city.the concrete tower has a distinctive profile, with a triangular plan.the site occupied by the tower was home to the palace hotel, and organised opposition was formed to try to save that building from demolition to make way for an office tower.the site was subsequently acquired by businessman alan bond and the tower was approved and constructed in a plan that would retain much of the palace hotel.the tower then remained the headquarters of bond's companies until their collapse.the tower has also been the headquarters of bankwest (formerly known as the r&i bank), between its completion and 2012.as of 2015, it is now the headquarters of mining company south32.the then-opulent palace hotel opened on this corner in 1897 during the days of the western australian gold rush, and developed a 'colourful' history, hosting numerous celebrities of the time.the plot was purchased by the commonwealth banking corporation, which announced in 1972 that it planned to redevelop the site as high-rise offices.during the 1950s and 1960s, many of perth's older buildings had been demolished to make way for modern developments, which led to wide criticism of the perth city council for approving such redevelopments.in this atmosphere, wide public protest resulted and a lobby group of concerned citizens calling themselves 'the palace guards' worked to save the historic building.this outcry led to condemnation of the plans and heritage listing of the property by the national trust, and forced the commonwealth bank to ask the federal government to take the property off its hands.the property was subsequently purchased from the commonwealth bank by businessman alan bond in 1978 along with the adjacent terrace arcade.these plans made some effort at preservation of the palace hotel, by retaining the facade and main foyer area of the building.however, the construction of the modern office tower at the site's north-eastern corner required demolition of terrace arcade, the eastern accommodation wing and the hotel's renowned dining room.the rationale given for the works required was that extensive renovations to the palace hotel in 1915 and the 1930s had weakened its structure significantly, as well as problems controlling white ants in the structure.the development exceeded the acceptable plot ratio in the town planning scheme, however the perth city council pre-approved the plans nonetheless, on the condition that bond corporation kept the palace hotel operating as a hotel.demolition of parts of the site commenced in august 1981, and by august 1983 construction had completed on the tower's foundation and three levels of underground parking.however, there were continuing doubts about the viability of the building, slowing the pace of the development.this changed on 7 september 1984 when r&i bank chairman david fischer signed a joint venture agreement over the development with austmark international, a subsidiary of bond corporation.the bank, which was at the time wholly owned by the government of western australia, consulted then-premier brian burke in deciding whether to invest in the project.following the investment in the project by the bank, the developers successfully sought modification of the original planning approval by the perth city council to allow the use of the palace hotel as a bank, rather than remaining as a public hotel. | ladyfish | pastural | gastropodous <tsp> ladyfish | dendropogon | anisopleural | no related information |

abraham alexander ribicoff (april 9, 1910 – february 22, 1998) was an american democratic party politician from the state of connecticut.he represented connecticut in the united states house of representatives and senate and was the 80th governor of connecticut and secretary of health, education, and welfare in president john f. kennedy's cabinet.he was connecticut's first and to date only jewish governor.ribicoff's relatively poor parents valued education and insisted that all his earnings from part-time boyhood jobs go toward his future schooling.after high school, he worked for a year at a nearby zipper factory of the g. e. prentice company to earn additional funds for college.ribicoff enrolled at new york university in 1928, then transferred to the university of chicago after the prentice company made him the chicago office manager.while in chicago, ribicoff coped with school and work schedules and was permitted to enter the university's law school before finishing his undergraduate degree.still a student, he married ruth siegel on june 28, 1931; they had two children.ribicoff served as editor of the university of chicago law review in his third year and received an llb cum laude in 1933, being admitted to the connecticut bar the same year.after practicing law in the office of a hartford lawyer, ribicoff set up his practice, first in kensington and later in hartford.from 1941 to 1943 and again from 1945 to 1947 he was the judge of hartford police court.during his political career, ribicoff was a protégé of john moran bailey, the powerful chairman of the democratic party of connecticut.during that time, he served on the foreign affairs committee, a position usually reserved for members with more seniority, and was a mostly loyal supporter of the foreign and domestic policies of president harry s. truman's administration.generally liberal in his outlook, he surprised many by opposing a $32 million appropriation for the construction of a dam in enfield, connecticut, arguing that the money was better spent on military needs and foreign policy initiatives such as the marshall plan.in 1952 he made an unsuccessful bid for election to fill a vacancy in the united states senate, losing to prescott bush.as governor (1955–1961), ribicoff soon faced the challenge of rebuilding his state in the wake of devastating floods that occurred in the late summer and fall of 1955, and he successfully led bipartisan efforts to aid damaged areas.ribicoff then successfully argued for increased state spending on schools and welfare programs.he also supported an amendment to the state constitution that enhanced the governing powers of local municipalities.easily reelected in 1958, ribicoff had by now become active on the national political scene.a longtime friend of massachusetts senator john f. kennedy, ribicoff had nominated his fellow new englander for vice president at the 1956 democratic national convention and was one of the first public officials to endorse kennedy's presidential campaign.he reportedly declined the position of attorney general for fear that he might create needless controversy within the emerging civil rights movement because he was jewish, and he instead chose to be secretary of health, education, and welfare (hew).although he managed to secure a revision of the 1935 social security act that liberalized requirements for aid to dependent children, ribicoff was unable to gain approval for the administration's medicare and school aid bills.eventually, he tired of attempting to manage the department, whose very size made it, in his opinion, unmanageable.ribicoff reflected that he had sought out the position of hew secretary mainly out of concern for education and 'realized that the problems of health and welfare were so overriding that education was relegated to the back burner' during his tenure. | abraham a ribicoff | party | democratic party united states | abraham alexander ribicoff (april 9, 1910 – february 22, 1998) was an american democratic party politician from the state of connecticut.during his political career, ribicoff was a protégé of john moran bailey, the powerful chairman of the democratic party of connecticut.a longtime friend of massachusetts senator john f. kennedy, ribicoff had nominated his fellow new englander for vice president at the 1956 democratic national convention and was one of the first public officials to endorse kennedy's presidential campaign. |
