THE MAN WHO 

WOULD HAVE BEEN 

PRESIDENT 

Former Vice President Joseph Biden looks to Watergate for answers in the 

“battle for the soul of the nation” 

by Kevin Cody 

Shortly after being elected to represent Delaware in the U.S. Senate in 

1972, Joe Biden watched Senator Jesse Helms excoriate fellow Republican 

Senator Bob Dole and Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy on the 

Senate floor for their support of equal rights for the disabled. Helms contended 

it was “confiscatory” to require small businesses to accommodate 

handicapped people with ramps and special bathrooms. 

“How can Helms be so heartless?” the 30-year-old Biden asked fellow Democrat 

Mike Mansfield when the two met in the Senate Leader’s office 

later that day. 

Mansfield told Biden that in 1963 Helms and his wife Dot saw a photograph 

in the Raleigh News of a 14-year-old boy with leg braces. He needed 

a home, so the Helms adopted him. 

“Do you still think Helms is heartless?” Mansfield asked Biden. 

“It’s always appropriate to question another man’s judgment, but it’s 

never appropriate to question his motives,” Mansfield advised the young 

Senator. 

“I felt like a fool,” Biden said, after relating the story during his October 

24 Distinguished Speaker talk at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center. 

“Because when you question a man’s motive,” Biden explained, “when 

you say they’re acting out of greed, that they’re in the pocket of an interest 

group, it’s awfully hard to reach consensus. It’s awfully hard reaching 

across the table to shake that person’s hands.” 

The former vice-president used the story to illustrate why he believes the 

national political system is broken and how to fix it. 

Without once blaming President Donald Trump by name during his hour, 

20 minute talk, Biden relentlessly pointed to the President as both cause 

and consequence for what he alternately referred to as “phony nationalism” 

or “phony populism.” 

“The nature of work has ‘all changed, changed utterly,’” he said, quoting 

from William Butler Yeats’ poem about the 1916 Irish Uprising against their 

British overlords. 

He traced the change to globalization and computerization. 

“It makes a fertile field for demagogues to fish in,” he said. 

“There used to be a basic bargain that if you contribute to an enterprise 

you share in the profits. Between 1948 and 1978, productivity increased 92 

percent and wages increased 92 percent. Since then productivity has increased 

another 69 percent, but wages have increased just eight percent. 

“Why? 

“The immigrants took our jobs. We spend too much money coddling the 

Blacks. It’s always ‘the other.’” 

“I never thought I’d see Neo-Nazis marching in our historical cities, carrying 

swastikas and chanting the same anti-Semitic bile we saw in Germany 

in the 1930s. Then to hear some elected leaders drawing moral equivalences 

between these people and other protesters…” he said, not finishing the sentence. 

He trusted his audience to remember Trump’s statements, following 

the Unite the Right Charlottesville protests in August, that "there is blame 

on both sides." 

Biden proposed a three pronged attack for winning what he called “a battle 

for the soul of the nation.” 

First, “We need to talk to each other again and drop the idea that the opposition 

is the enemy.” The suggestion elicited the strongest applause of the 

evening. 

“When I got to the Senate, the Vietnam War was tearing the country apart. 

The women’s movement was viewed as radical and environmentalism was 

an attack on corporate America. We had segregationist senators like Strom 

Thurmond and Sam Irwin. 

“But as divided as we were, we got things done because we knew one 

another. 

“Senator Helms and I had profound political differences. He was constantly 

saying, ‘We’ve never lost a war and we’ve never won a treaty.’ But 

as Chairman and Ranking Member of the Foreign Relations Committee, we 

passed some of the most significant legislation of the last 40 years. 

“How many senators and congressmen today have a friendship with a 

member of the opposite party?” 

“I’m still in contact with Republican leaders. But I never let anyone know 

who they are because it would hurt them if it was known they were consulting 

with me. 

“I went up to the Hill during my vice presidency and looked in on the 

senate dining room, where guests are allowed. It was full. I looked in on 

the dining room across the hall, where only senators are allowed. It used 

to have tables where opposing senators sat across from one another and 

worked out their differences over lunch, one on one. The room was empty. 

The tables have been replaced by lounges,” he said. 

“We need to deal with nationalism,” Biden said in introducing his second 

strategy. “We’ve seen it before in our country and in other countries we 

thought were sound democracies.” 

He recalled the 1968 presidential bid of American Independent Party candidate 

George Wallace. The Alabama governor’s rallying cry was, “Segregation 

now. Segregation tomorrow. Segregation forever.” Wallace won five 

southern states. 

Biden is board chair of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. 

Two weeks prior to his Distinguished Speakers talk, he presented Arizona 

Senator John McCain with the Center’s Liberty Medal.

Biden quoted from McCain’s acceptance speech, during which the Arizona 

Senator also pounded Trump without mentioning Trump’s name. 

"To abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse 

the obligations of international leadership for the sake of some half-baked, 

spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats 

than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other 

tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history," 

Biden read from McCain’s speech. 

Biden followed McCain’s quote with an excerpt from a New York Times 

column by David Brook, printed two days prior to Biden’s Redondo talk. 

“Human beings can be rallied around three things: religion, tribe or 

ideals. Donald Trump and the campus multiculturalists want to organize 

people by ethnic tribe, which has always been the menacing temptation 

throughout our history.” 

In a rising voice, Biden said, “We haven’t led the world just by the examples 

of our power, but by the power of our example. That is why the 

world has repaired to us for the last seven decades. They believe that we 

believe what we say in our sacred documents. 

“Can you picture,” he asked, almost shouting, “any past American president 

taunting a foreign leader with nuclear weapons about his size? Calling 

the president of South Korea an appeaser? Threatening China with a trade 

war and not appointing an assistant secretary of state for East Asia?” 

Returning to a measured tone, he argued, “Every problem we face requires 

more than just us. It requires alliances, not just physical alliances, 

but alliances of ideals.” And yet, he contended, “U.S. foreign policy is 

closed off and clannish, as us versus them.” 

Biden again quoted from Brooks’ Sunday column. 

“The moral fabric of society is invisible but essential. Some use their 

public position to dissolve it so they can have an open space for their selfishness.” 

“We can’t let that happen,” Biden said. “We have an obligation to reweave 

our values -- honesty, dignity, giving hate no safe harbor, leaving no one 

behind -- back into the fabric of our political system.” 

Finally, Biden exhorted, “It’s time to stand up for the American story. 

We are energy independent. We have the world’s most powerful military. 

Our workers are three times more productive than Asia’s. Name a worldchanging 

product invented in the last 20 years that was not invented in 

the United States.” 

“Thanks to our underappreciated President Dwight D. Eisenhower, we 

have more research universities than the rest of the world combined.. 

“After Sputnik, Eisenhower convened a panel to discuss how to reclaim 

leadership in science and technology. They said invest in the military-industrial 

complex. He said, ‘No, send the money to the universities.’” 

“I spent 25 hours in one-on-one conversations with Chinese President 

Xi Jinping, with just our translators present,” Biden said, returning to the 

theme of international alliances. 

“I told him we want China to succeed. He asked why. So you can buy 

our products, I told him.” 

During a visit to China shortly after the 2008 recession, Biden was pres- 


ent for a talk by Xi in China’s Great Hall. Xi said, “We don’t think America 

is finished. We think you will come back. But we want to know if our investment 

in American Treasury notes is safe. We are worried about your 

rising entitlement costs.” 

“I said, ‘President Xi, I saw that the Thursday after America’s financial 

rating was downgraded, you bought $10 billion in U.S. Treasury notes. I 

know you did that to help us.’ Then, more seriously, I added, ‘Our entitlement 

policies can be fixed. But how will you fix your one child policy. By 

2020, China will have more retirees than workers. If we can help, let us 

know.’” 

Biden said Hillary Clinton and the Democrats share in the blame for the 

current political breakdown. 

“It’s the responsibility of the opposition to offer rational alternatives. We 

hear about the angry, uneducated, prejudiced white guys in Pennsylvania, 

Ohio, and Wisconsin who voted for Trump. But four years earlier a Black 

man won those states. These people aren’t stupid. There are 600,000 middle 

class truck drivers in America who don’t know if they will have a job 10 

years from now. 

“Over the last four years, white males, ages 40 to 49, have had the highest 

suicide, divorce and drug abuse rates in the nation, higher than in the ghettos. 

It’s the only age group in America with a declining life expectancy.” 

“Can anyone tell me from the last election, Hillary’s plan for tax reform, 

or college affordability?’ 

“I know I sound like a conspiracy nut,” he acknowledged, “but I think 

there was a method to the [Trump’s] madness. I spoke at 83 events for 

Hillary. On my way to Wisconsin, three and a half weeks before the election, 

I realized every time a serious issue was raised, it was pushed aside 

by extraneous issues. 

“Two days prior to the second debate, the Entertainment Tonight tape of 

Trump’s groping was leaked. I knew the first question to Trump would be 

about his treatment of women. I prayed to God that when Hillary was asked 

to respond, she would say something like, ‘We all know who Donald Trump 

is. Let me tell you what I’ll do to keep the economy going.’” 

Instead, after Trump dismissed the tape as “locker room talk,” Clinton, 

in Biden’s opinion, took the bait. “I said starting back in June that he was 

not fit to be president and commander in chief.” 

Trump quickly counter punched. He accused Clinton of enabling her husband’s 

abuse of women. 

“If you look at Bill Clinton, mine are words and his was action... There’s 

never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that has been so 

abusive to women,” Trump said, to devastating effect. 

“Harvard did a study of the debates,” Biden said. “Just four percent of the 

words related to significant issues.” 

“When we engage in gutter language, this demeaning conduct by our 

leaders, we pull it all down,” Biden said. 

At the end of his talk, Biden turned to history for hope. 

“I was there during Watergate. The people who saved the country were 

Republicans. Senators Howard Baker, Bill Cohen. Enough Republicans 

found their voices.” 

In 1974, Nixon resigned after Republican leaders, including Arizona Senator 

Barry Goldwater, told him he had lost his party’s support. 

“I think you’ll see Republicans begin to realize how close to the edge we 

are. Our silence in the face of these things amounts to complicity,” Biden 

said. 

“The American people, too, are awakening to the danger of phoney nationalism. 

There is a real hunger for bipartisanship,” he contended. 

Biden told of his mother cautioning him when he was young, “Joey, the 

children are listening.” 

“Right now” he told his Redondo Beach audience, “the world is listening.” 

During the question and answer period Biden was asked, “Do politicians 

ever really retire?” 

In 2020, when the next presidential election will be held, Biden will be 

78 and Trump 74. 

“Some do. Some don’t,” he answered. Then he digressed into a discussion 

about the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement at the 

University of Pennsylvania. PEN

Resort and Whole Foods Market, presented their annual Garden-to- 

Table Dining Experience on October 15. Since PVLC’s inception in 

1988, they have helped preserve over 1,600 acres of open space and establish 

nearly 42 miles of public trails on the preserves. This year’s Pastoral 

Dinner highlighted the Peninsula’s Mediterranean climate, native 

habitat and unique biodiversity. The evening showcased California 

handcrafted, organic and sustainable food and wine unique to Palos 

Verdes climate. Terri A. Haack, a member of the Conservancy’s President’s 

Advisory Council and President of Terranea Resort, told guests, 

“Executive Chef Ibarra and the Conservancy team have created a 

unique experience that will benefit and support an important cause, 

close to all of our hearts -- preserving our natural landscape.”

Wine 

for the 

millennials 

Peninsula’s Kristin and Stephen Jolley produce a wine aimed at the happy hour generation 

by Richard Foss 

Some families have been in the wine business for so long they’re said 

to have wine in their veins. Peninsula winemaker Kristin Jolley is 

among them, though her family’s history is less glamorous than most. 

“My grandfather was a winemaker in the town of Orléans, near Paris. I 

remember my grandma saying, ‘I would never touch that wine, it was so 

gross. Your great grandfather would make it in his underwear with his dirty 

feet, and all of his friends would get in there to stamp the grapes.’ Nobody 

took over the family business, and his wine press is a floral centerpiece in 

the town square. So I grew up with the stories, but it was much later on 

that I got into wine.” 

Kristin and her husband Stephen own Happy Hour Wine Company. The 

brand is focused on selling easy drinking wines, which after only two years 

are available in 23 states. 

Kristin, a Redondo Beach native, studied supply chain management in 

college and was working for the Fresh & Easy grocery chain when she had 

an epiphany. 

“I thought, there’s a happy hour at every bar and restaurant, but there’s 

not a brand called happy hour. If there was, you could have happy hour 

any time, anywhere. I came home one day and told my Stephen I wanted 

to start a wine brand called Happy Hour.” 

The trademark had already been registered, but Kristin couldn’t find any 

evidence that the owner was doing anything with it. 

“The phone number was right there on the trademark website, so I called 

him and said, ‘I’m Kristin, and I want to buy your trademark.’ He said he 

wasn’t interested in selling it and hung up on me. I called him every month 

for a year and a half, and every time our conversations got a little bit longer. 

He had a little beer company in Florida that did business there and in New 

York. Finally he asked, how old are you? I told him I was in my early 20s, 

and he said, ‘I’m 92.’ So I said, you have to sell me this trademark and you

have to do it now. He said, ‘You have been so persistent and tenacious, I’ll 

sell it to you.’ He didn’t have an email address, so we did everything by 

snail mail. I would write a document, and he’d want to change one word 

and he’d mail it back to me, so what could have taken a couple of days 

took six months.” 

The precious trademark having been acquired, Kristin and Stephen now 

had to figure out what to do with it. Kristin had taken wine classes and 

had a good idea of what she wanted. A friend knew a fourth generation 

winemaker in the Spanish province of La Mancha. A trip was taken, an 

agreement was reached, and they started collaborating to create a red and 

a white wine. 

“We knew what we wanted the white to taste like, and we worked with 

them to make this Chardonnay that was light, crisp, and refreshing. We 

didn’t want it heavily oaked because we wanted that citrus-forward aspect, 

so it spends a little time in French oak so you get this kiss of vanilla. Our

red blend we wanted to be smooth 

and easy drinking, so we came up 

with a Cab, Syrah, and Petite Verdot 

blend. Though both are made 

in Spain, we’re using varietals that 

are popular in the American market, 

so we don’t market them as 

Spanish wines.” 

The wine business was a sideline 

for Karen until the sudden closure 

of Fresh and Easy presented her 

with a stark choice: find another 

grocery marketing job or make the 

wine business a full time job. She 

chose the wine business. Stephen 

kept his decade-long career as a 

firefighter and worked with his 

wife on his days off. Together they 

designed the label, which has a 

retro look, reminiscent of 1950s’ 

advertising, which appeals to their 

target demographic. 

“Our market is millennials, the 

ones who are going to happy 

hours. We want to have this brand 

retail for under $10, to keep it accessible. 

You don’t have to have a 

sophisticated palate to enjoy 

Happy Hour, it’s not a wine snob 

wine and we don’t want it to be. It 

should be fun, accessible, and easy 

to drink. We’re turning America’s 

favorite pastime into a brand. We 

do events, wine festivals, and inhouse 

samplings at Total Wine, and 

we’re the house wine at Good Stuff 

restaurants.” 

Kristin and Stephen have been 

piling up the frequent flyer miles 

going back and forth to Spain. 

“We work with our winemakers 

and blend the wines with them to 

make sure they are what want them 

to be. We started on the business 

side but have become involved with 

the artisan side, or perhaps it’s better 

to say the aesthetic side. We 

have been out in the fields, picked 

the grapes, and learned everything 

we can. We love being involved in 

the process from beginning to end.” 

Kristin was emphatic in saying 

they don’t want or need to have a 

product in every category. 

“We’re working on a rosé to be 

available in spring of next year, and 

that will complete our line, for 

now. We’re trying to keep this simple. 

We’re a small business that is 

taking off, and we’re working toward 

becoming a household name. 

Look at what we have accomplished 

already. It has been two 

years, and we’re now in 23 states, 

working with major retailers like 

Von’s and Whole Foods. Both 

wines are getting respect from 

sommeliers. One at a major restaurant 

in Las Vegas tried our white 

and told me, ‘If I didn’t know what 

this was I’d guess it was a white 

Burgundy in the $25 per bottle 

range.’ We’re happy with that, getting 

respect from professionals for 

a wine that was designed to be approachable 

and not intimidating.” 

Perhaps there is some genetic 

disposition to not only loving wine, 

but to also love making it. Certainly 

Karen has taken the business 

far beyond her grandfather’s 

dreams. She mentioned she might 

someday be interested in starting a 

winery in California, but finished 

that statement with a dismissive, 

“That’s a dream down the road.” PEN

A home for the 

future 

Charlotte’s interest in theatre comes to life here in her living room with 

hats she makes by hand from feathers including those from peacocks.

This Mediterranean Revival villa is a gatehouse originally owned by Ruth Harden, sister of Frank Vanderlip, the Father of Palos Verdes. 

A Peninsula couple purchases an historic home to preserve it for future generations 

by Stephanie Cartozian 

Charlotte and Allen Ginsburg, 

M.D. purchased the 

Gatehouse on Portuguese 

Point from Michael and Marilyn 

Lightman on May 1, 2014. The 

Villa’s imposing and storied 

wooden gates speak of a time 

when prohibition prevailed and 

flappers were in fashion. To avoid 

detection, bootleggers anchored 

their boats in what became known 

as Smugglers Cove in front of the 

house. There is a rich Peninsula 

history here Dr. Ginsburg recalled, 

“It’s a place of distinction, we want 

to take care of it, nurture it. It takes 

a lot of work and vigilance, it doesn’t 

just happen, to have beautiful 

open space preserved in perpetuity.” 

The couple’s acquisition of the 

property was motivated by their 

goal of maintaining its place in the 

Peninsula’s rich history. In December 

of 2014, they worked with the 

planning commission to approve 

the conversion of 2,690 square feet 

of the estate into a non profit that 

is to be called the Heritage Castle. 

The couple ardently supports the 

The writing beneath this 1920s era photo taken at the entrance to the 

Portuguese Point Gatehouse, reads, “The morning after Spinsters party.”

Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy. 

Heritage Castle was originally 

known as the Harden Estate. It 

was designed by architect Gordon 

Kaufmann, who also designed oil 

tycoon Edward L. Doheny’s Greystone 

Manor and the Hoover Dam. 

It was built in 1926 for Ruth Vanderlip 

and her husband Edward 

Walker Harden. Ruth was the sister 

of Peninsula pioneer Frank Vanderlip. 

In 1902, while attending 

college and staying with her 

brother Frank in New York, Ruth 

introduced her brother to Mabel 

Narcissa Cox, known to friends as 

Clover. Frank and Narcissa became 

engaged seven days later. 

Frank’s best man was Edward 

Harden and Ruth was one of Narcissa’s 

five bridesmaids. Frank and 

Edward had previously agreed that 

whoever married first would have 

his honeymoon paid for by the 

other. Dutifully, the friends on 

both sides of the families drew up 

the anticipated costs of the resplendent 

honeymoon and published it 

in the Aurora Beacon-News. Four

population. 

months later Ruth and Edward 

married. It was a close race to the 

altar and remains unknown if Edward 

ever actually paid for the Vanderlip 

honeymoon. 

This Mediterranean Revival villa 

originally housed furnishings by the 

same artisan who made furniture 

for William Randolph Hearst’s Castle 

in San Simeon. Its 2.06 acreage 

overlooks Abalone Cove. “We have 

daily whale, dolphin and sea lion 

sightings,” Charlotte said. The Olmsted 

Brothers (whose father Frederick 

designed New York’s Central 

Park) designed the landscaping to 

emphasize the environment’s natural 

beauty, which includes ocean 

pathways, viewing gardens and 

lush greenery that seems to stretch 

to infinity. The brothers’ genius lay 

in producing soothing scenes by 

subordinating individual details to 

the whole. Charlotte described their 

backyard “as a place she goes to 

renew her spirit.” The Ginsburgs’ 

friend and decorator Alex Perez said 

that busy as the couple is, they meet 

most evenings outside to watch the 

sunset and the peacocks. Perez said 

that he’ll have ideas on how to create 

a look and Charlotte will take it 

up a notch to really make a statement. 

“Like the bow on the top of 

the Christmas tree. I had it extending 

out a few inches and she said, 

Have it extend out a few feet.” 

Heritage Castle was inspired by 

the Renaissance era Dovecote 

building in Ospitaletto, Italy. These 

types of structures have holes for 

doves and pigeons to nest in. Italians 

would dine on the eggs and 

meat from these birds and even fertilize 

their fields with the droppings. 

Ruth Harden was an ardent conservationist. 

Unfortunately, with the 

stock market crash in 1929, the 

Hardens were unable to complete 

their dream estate, which was to 

have been a Palos Verdes version of 

Hearst Castle. The extensive plans

hang framed inside the home, along 

with several black and white photos 

of Ruth and Edward Harden. In 

1990, the Rancho de Los Palos 

Verdes Historical Society designated 

the gatehouse an historical building. 

“We purchased this property because 

heritage lives here, dreams 

were here and people of consequence 

tried to do things,” Dr. Ginsburg 

said. 

Dr. Ginsburg is a retired eye surgeon 

and real estate entrepreneur. 

Charlotte is a fashion and costume 

designer with a background in theatre, 

set design and dance. At the 

Castle, she keeps a collection of 

Broadway show style feathered hats 

that she designs and makes by 

hand – many with peacock feathers 

and all with her signature flair. She 

bought the house without her husband 

seeing it first. Happily, he 

trusted her judgement. 

The couple married in 1990 in a 

simple ceremony at a city courthouse. 

The couple has five children 

from previous marriages – Gregory, 

Daniel, Jeffrey, Quinn and Charmaine. 

Charlotte said of her husband, 

“He is a visionary, he is always in 

the future.” 

A number of movies and television 

shows have been filmed at the 

Castle, including “It’s a Mad, Mad, 

Mad, Mad World.” Palm trees in a 

shape of a “W”, where the movie’s 

hidden treasure was buried, were 

planted for the movie and still stand 

today. 

“It’s a great challenge to be in a 

place where dreams started,” Dr. 

Ginsburg said. PEN

LA BioMed ‘Legend’ Dr. Arnold Bayer hunts down deadly, shapeshifting microbes 

by Robb Fulcher 

For the past several decades, Dr. Arnold Bayer has researched 

shapeshifting bacteria in an effort to penetrate their defenses and render 

them harmless. 

In the course of his work, the Rancho Palos Verdes resident has earned 

world renown for furthering our understanding of Staph infections and 

other bacterial diseases. He is the co-author of hundreds of scientific papers 

and book chapters, and lectures around the world. 

LA BioMed CEO Dr. David Meyer used the word “massive” to describe 

Bayer’s medical contributions at a dinner this month honoring Bayer and 

two of his colleagues as “Legends” in their fields. 

Much of Bayer’s work focuses on the Staph bacterium MRSA, which are 

infamous for getting inside hospital patients’ bloodstreams following surgery. 

Staph also attacks people in the general population, causing skin abscesses, 

and systemic infections such as pneumonia, and even death. 

The incidence of hospital staph infections has decreased in recent years, 

but Bayer said the bacteria continue to change their defenses, forcing fresh 

research offensives. 

“It’s like plugging one hole in the dyke, and another one springs up,” he 

said. 

Microbial Darwinism 

Even when bacteria have no antibiotics to make them tougher, they still 

morph into stronger and stronger versions of themselves, Bayer said. 

He pointed to research on bacteria harvested from a cave that was opened 

in New Mexico, after it had been sealed shut by a huge rock at least four 

million years ago. 

“The bacteria had not seen the light of day for millions of years, and they 

were already resistant to antibiotics we have today,” Bayer said. “How can

that be? The theory is that to survive, 

they had to compete with one 

another. Bug ‘A’ developed its own 

antibiotics to kill bug ‘B’.” 

The competition could in some 

way mirror bacteria’s struggle 

against human-made antibiotics. 

“These bacteria are way ahead of 

us,” Bayer said. 

Bayer and his colleagues at LA 

BioMed, located on the Harbor- 

UCLA Medical Center campus in 

Torrance, carry on a “bench to bedside” 

research. The researchers 

peer through advanced microscopes 

and into test tubes, pore over experimental 

models, and study infected 

human blood samples and biopsied 

tissues. 

“My laboratory studies MRSA 

from a couple of perspectives…how 

the bug is able to adapt to antibiotics 

by becoming resistant to them 

and, in turn, how our bodies fight 

them off,” he said. 

Bayer is digging into the workings 

of platelets, the cells that help blood 

clot, stemming excessive bleeding. 

Bayer said it has become clear 

platelets play a part in fighting off 

harmful bacteria. 

“Platelets are like little storage 

reservoirs of [natural] antibiotics, 

releasing them to kill bacteria,” he 

said. 

The study of platelet-derived antibiotics 

could result in the development 

of new artificial antibiotic 

treatments, he said. He is performing 

these studies in close collaboration 

with Professor Michael 

Yeaman, chief of molecular medicine 

at LA BioMed. 

Bayer has served as Associate 

Program Director of Infectious Disease, 

Vice-Chair of Academic Affairs 

and Acting Chief of the 

Division of Infectious Diseases at 

Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. 

His research has been funded by 

the National Institutes of Health 

since 1996. 

Bayer has served on the NIAID 

National Association for Research 

in Staphylococcus aureus, is a charter 

committee member of the International 

Consortium for the Study 

of Infective Endocarditis, and Councilor 

in the International Society for 

Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases. 

When he’s not doing research, or 

teaching interns, medical students 

and Fellows, he enjoys country

and hiking and downhill skiing. He 

and his wife Enid have two grown 

children, Alex and Alicia, and a 1- 

year-old grandchild. 

Additional Legends 

Also honored as 2017 Legends at 

the LA BioMed dinner on November 

1 at the Torrance Marriott were 

Dr. Rodney White and Dr. Paul C. 

Fu. 

Meyer said that vascular surgeon 

White’s “surgical skills and innovations 

have saved thousands of 

lives.” 

“White developed stents that 

have prevented numerous deaths 

from aortic aneurysms,” Meyer 

said. In addition, while he was a 

medical student, White developed 

the use of a porous ceramic, made 

from ocean coral, as an artificial 

bone graft. 

Fu developed the standard cholesterol 

test – measuring total 

serum cholesterol – that has been 

in wide use for decades. He also 

has contributed to research in 

areas ranging from liver disease to 

bipolar disorder. PEN 




RHCC names new golf director 

Devan Bonebrake has been named Director of Golf Instruction 

at the newly renovated Rolling Hills Country Club. Bonebrake 

is the owner of Southern California Golf Academy in 

Carlsbad. “RHCC Academy has the most advanced technology

who was recently named 2017-18 Golf Digest Best Teachers

facility and the new, 12-acre driving range and you can’t 

help but make people better,” he said. The new David Kidd 

designed golf course is scheduled to reopen late this month 

after a $75 million renovation that required nearly 2.5 years 

to complete. PEN

Your clock deserves a gift too. 

For this holiday season, I suggest you add one more gift to 

your list. 

A properly maintained clock not only extends its life indefinitely, 

it also insures its accuracy. Your clock has a complex 

mechanism of inter-working parts. Yet unfortunately this precious 

item does not warn you prior to any major malfunction, 

therefore it becomes imperative to maintain and service your 

clock regularly. Oil gets old and dry forcing the train of gears 

to work twice as hard to accomplish their goal. This results in 

damage that drastically shortens the life of a fine timepiece. 

Your clock reminds you of it’s presence every time you wind 

it, and if its accuracy is not what it used to be, or its chimes are 

not as healthy, or maybe it just stops. That means it’s talking 

to you, telling you that its endless life is in jeopardy.

Bay for over 35 years

Michel Medawar has been extending the lives of timepieces for 

over fifty years as his father did fifty years before. He is the inventor 

of the first talking clock in the world. He is a graduate from 

Patek Philippe in Geneva, Switzerland, The Theod Wagner clock 

Co. in Wiesbaden, Germany, and the Howard Miller Clock Co. 

in Zeeland, Michigan. Call him so that he may come to your home 

the same day and offer you a free estimate for servicing your clock.

and receive the same complimentary diagnosis.

in remembrance 

Harvey Kushner remembered 

by Brian Gillogly 

Pioneer think tank CEO and Peninsula resident Harvey Kushner passed 

away recently from injuries suffered during a fall. 

Kushner was born in Brooklyn in 1930 and raised in Baltimore, where 

he attended public schools and earned an undergraduate degree in mechanical 

engineering at Johns Hopkins University. He planned to enter the then 

new field of bioengineering, but that was before his wife Rose, a medical lab 

technician, gave birth to their first son. To support his family, Kushner went 

to work at Operation Research (ORI), one of the nation’s first for-profit think 

tanks. 

While rising rapidly through the management ranks, Kushner resumed 

studies in physics and business. 

ORI’s projects included Naval systems; NASA’s Nimbus, the first weather 

satellite; the Hubble telescope; and a computerized war game to help the 

Army Medical Corps, which proved invaluable during the Vietnam War. One 

of Kushner’s projects was to study how new sentencing requirements affected 

California Superior Courts. 

He became ORI’s CEO after leading a then-innovative takeover of the company 

through an employee stock ownership plan. 

About this time Rose developed breast cancer. She would write several 

books on the subject and become a forceful advocate for mammography and 

minimally invasive surgical procedures. She was a member of the National 

Cancer Advisory Board. After succumbing to cancer in 1990, her husband 

took it upon himself to edit updates of her pamphlet, “If you’ve thought about 

breast cancer.” 

After leaving ORI, Kushner established Kushner Management Planning 

Corp., a private government consulting company. He moved to Palos Verdes 

in the early 1990s and married Dr. Patricia Sacks, Director of the Vasek & 

Anna Maria Polak Breast Diagnostic Center at Torrance Memorial Medical 

Center. They shared passions for medicine, travel and the arts. Kushner was 

an accomplished artist, violin player and sailor. 

In a 2009 profile in Peninsula People, Kushner spoke about his deep admiration 

for the two women in his life: “What Rose did in 16 years and what 

Pat is doing every day is very hands on. You can come home at night and say 

I helped somebody, I did something valuable, something important. I’ve done 

everything I can to support them. I guess I get as much out of what they accomplish 

helping other people as they do.” 

In 2010, Kushner became one of the first heart patients to receive an LVAD 

(Left Ventricular Assist Device) heart pump as a long-term “destination” device. 

(Heart pumps are usually meant to be temporary, until a donor organ 

becomes available.) He often credited his extraordinarily long seven years 

with an LVAD to his wife Pat’s medical background. 

“The key to longevity with an LVAD is sleeping with your doctor,” he liked 

to joke. 

Kushner is survived by his wife Patricia, sons Gantt and Todd, daughter 

Lesley, three grandsons, a granddaughter, and his dog Reo. P 

Harvey Kushner.
