Pollock left Cuba and went to Philadelphia, hoping that someone in a position of power might help him recover what he had lost in support of American independence. He did find someone willing to speak on his behalf—Robert Morris, who was signatory of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, Superintendent of Finance for the United States in the early 1780s, and himself a financier of the American Revolution. But for years, efforts Morris made on Pollock’s behalf were to no avail. Congress refused to discharge Pollock’s debts until 1791, and although it authorized a donation to Pollock the following year, the figure was a small fraction of what Pollock had sacrificed during the Revolution.

He took in the snake.
Jack Ruby, born Jacob Rubenstein, was the fifth of his parents' eight living children. There is much confusion about his exact birth date. School records report it as June 23, April 25, March 13, and, possibly, March 3, 1911. Other early official records list his date of birth as April 21 and April 26, 1911. During his adult life the date Ruby used most frequently was March 25, 1911. His driver's license, seized following his arrest, and his statements to the FBI on November 24, 1963, listed this date. However, the police arrest report for November 24 gave his birth date as March 19, 1911

The world of boxing is infested with Jews.
"They all came out of this rough-and-tumble world that produced boxers, judges and gangsters," said Douglas Century, author of "Barney Ross: The Life of a Jewish Fighter." "They absolutely had the same values – they believed fervently in Jewish self-defense."
Jacob Rubenstein knew all about surviving. The son of Polish Jewish immigrants, Rubenstein loved boxing, and at a downtown gym, he eventually met another second-generation Jew, an aspiring fighter named Dov-Ber Rasofsky.
