  + stars: | 2023-12-01 | by ( Wilson Wong | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Readers see a justice who was aware of the significance of her position, and who knew what she wanted her legacy to be. “For anyone interested in the court, women’s history or both, the story of Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, their separate routes to the Supreme Court and what they accomplished during the more than 12 years they spent together is irresistible,” Greenhouse wrote in her review. “Did Justices O’Connor and Ginsburg really change the world? As David Margolick wrote in the Book Review, “O’Connor was clearly Toobin’s most important source. She’s also — readers can decide if it’s coincidental — his hero: the justice, he argues, who through her pragmatic, seat-of-the-pants jurisprudence single-handedly kept the court close to the American mainstream, particularly on matters like reproductive freedom and affirmative action.” (2007)

On the cusp of the greatest generational wealth transfer in history, baby boomers are set to pass more than $68 trillion on to their children. "It's a generation that has accumulated a greater percentage of wealth than any other generation ever has," said Mark Mirsberger, a certified public accountant and CEO of Dana Investment Advisors, referring to boomers. Studies show a growing disconnect between how much millennials expect to inherit in the "great wealth transfer" and how much aging boomers plan on leaving them. But 55% of baby boomers who plan to leave behind an inheritance said they will pass on less than $250,000. Tack on inflation, geopolitical uncertainty and fears of a recession, and boomers suddenly may be feeling less secure about their financial standing — and less generous when it comes to giving money away.
