Jerry even ran for Mayor of Atlanta twice in the tradition of Pat Paulson, finishing third twice behind none other than Andy Young and Maynard Jackson. As Farber is fond of pointing out, “A guy like me could never run for office in a country like China or Syria or Chile or Mississippi!” Jerry devotes countless hours to charity work. He has been recognized by the American Lung Association as their Man of the Year and the Variety Club of Atlanta for Humanitarian of the Year. Business audiences are among his favorite challenges. I am best at breaking the ice and energizing a room, and the checks are always good. Jerry has a best-selling book Sex, Wealth and Power: How to Live Without Them. This glib, irreverent collection of Jerry’s humor is available in bookstores throughout the country.
