Gerald and Sheila were my parents. I set out to record their public lives, to tell their story, neither as a eulogy nor as a detraction. They were important people in Cork, not only because they were the first Jewish Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, but because of the significant contributions they made to the city’s cultural life over more than 40 years and how much the city and its people meant to them. Gerald and Sheila were two very different people who were married for nearly 60 years in...

Jerusalem. A classified DARPA-funded AI lab inside Hebrew University activates an experimental neural architecture.
