Political climate is volatile for Geithner '83

By Anya Perret & Nathan Swire | March 31, 2009

Courtesy of the Associated Press Editor's Note: This is part one of a two part series on the role of Dartmouth alumnus and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner '83 in the federal government's response to the ongoing economic crisis. Although just a few weeks ago, calls for the resignation of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner '83 seemed to be gaining momentum, positive reaction from investors, politicians and the media to his most recent financial rescue proposal appears to have now stabilized his political fate. Geithner announced the framework for the government's financial rescue plan in February, saying that the Obama administration would work to commit $2.5 trillion to a federal bailout of the country's economic system. Many politicians on both sides of the aisle pilloried the plan, saying it lacked specificity.

Hanover couple dies in murder-suicide

By Katie Gonzalez | March 30, 2009

Jennifer Argote / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Elliott Lewis, 84, and his wife of 59 years, Barbara Lewis, 82, were found dead in their downtown Hanover condominium on March 16 in what appears to be a murder-suicide, officials said. Barbara Lewis' death was ruled a homicide after a March 18 autopsy, conducted by New Hampshire's chief medical examiner Thomas Andrew, revealed multiple gunshot wounds to her head and chest. Elliott Lewis' death, the result of a single gunshot to the head, was deemed a suicide. A handgun found at the condominium is assumed to be the weapon involved in the crime, assistant attorney general Peter Hinckley said in an interview with The Dartmouth. "Domestic violence is not a suspected motive in this case," Hinckley said.
