Expansion

There's scope for further expansion here, as tagged:

There's more to say about Ide's early political career, as state senator, Republican delegate, and so forth.
There's more to say about Ide's family. Two children are mentioned thus far. He actually had four. He also had a wife.
There's more to say about Ide's business affairs. He was a bank director (for several banks), a bank trustee, and receiver of the Knickerbocker Trust Company of New York.
There's more to say about Ide's honorary degrees, such as the one from Dartmouth College.
