Interesting obituary:

Stewart R. Mott, a flamboyant General Motors heir and self-described "avant-garde philanthropist" who used his family's fortune to underwrite progressive social causes and liberal political campaigns, died Thursday at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, N.Y. He was 70 and had cancer.

4. You're right - very interesting obit.
I also looked up his father, who did a lot for the needy in Flint, even though it appears Stewart and he disagreed on how to "help" with their wealth.

RIP
