He’s Jewish, the son of a father who fled Nazi Germany, a friend of the Clintons since the Yale years, and a Yale alumni who keeps having the guts to accept a non-Yale Connecticut university giving Connecticut it’s most prestige men’s and women’s basketball teams, even though Yale is in NCAA Division I and has a long history of being Ivy League’s best men’s basketball team, even winning this year’s Ivy League tournament; however, unlike Yale, UConn’s winning accomplishments go well beyond a mere conference tournament. Richard “Dick” Blumenthal is truly something else.
