Ed KOCH tombstone with the engraving of his birth year as 1942 instead of 1924. (Screengrab NBC New York) (JTA) — A tombstone engraver made Ed KOCH nearly two decades younger after carving the wrong birth year into the New York City mayor’s granite slab. Tommy Flynn of Flynn Funeral & Cremation Memorial Centers Inc. transposed two numbers in KOCH’s birth year, making him born in 1942 rather than 1924, The New York Times reported Tuesday. KOCH died on Feb. 1 at 88. He supervised the engraving of his tombstone except for the dates of birth and death. The stone includes the last words of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, murdered by Islamist terrorists in Pakistan in 2002: “My father is Jewish, my mother is Jewish, I am Jewish.” Flynn told The New York Times he would fix the error within three weeks. ...

Democracy depends on an informed citizenry and a free press. Our free press, now on life support, is in danger of being completely controlled by the corporations. Today, corporations act only in their best interest and will do what they can to prevent the flow of certain information to citizens. They are already making decisions about what they want citizens to know and what they want us not to know. Please take a few minutes to sign this petition. Friends, We believe that in a free society, our press and broadcasters should be strong and unafraid to challenge the powerful. But recently, public television pulled funding for “Citizen KOCH,” a ground-breaking documentary by Academy Award-nominated filmmakers on the restricting and destructive role of money in politics. Who could possibly be bankrolling such an outrageous compromise of the integrity of public broadcasting, you ask? None other than radical Tea Party billionaire David KOCH, who serves as a trustee of and big time donor to PBS affiliates at New York’s WNET and Boston’s WGBH.1 Sign our petition to PBS: KOCH money shouldn’t influence our media — we want to see “Citizen KOCH” aired. Public television is meant to be a resource and discussion starter for all of us, but this incident shows that the Kochs’ influence is simply out of control. David KOCH’s $23 million in donations to public television shouldn’t give him the power to suppress programming that serves the public g ...
