Gender: Male Religion: Jewish Race or Ethnicity: White Sexual orientation: Straight Occupation: Business Party Affiliation: Democratic Nationality: United States Executive summary: New York Banker "I have always felt that the visible manifestation and realization of the powers of nature over man are of real benefit. First of all, they make all human beings -- men, women, and children, to whatever station they may belong, regardless of creed, color or nationality -- feel equal, and, secondly, we realize how small and powerless we human beings, in fact, are compared to the forces of nature. Thirdly, it gives each of us an opportunity to be of some use and help to our fellowmen, which is one of the outstanding characteristics of a true American, for which we should all be grateful." -- James Speyer, regarding the New York blizzard of 1888 Father: Gustavus Speyer Mother: Sophia Rubino Brother: Sir Edgar Speyer (head of English branch of Speyer & Co.) Wife: Ellin Leslie Prince (m. 1897) Slept with: Carlotta Monterey (wife of Eugene O'Neill)
