Comedian Dennis Miller (top photo) regaled the audience with his inimitable observations about climate change, the political scene and other matters. Recent Endowment donors at or above the $2,000 level were treated to a backstage reception and a visit from Mr. Miller. Pictured above center are Soneet Kapila and his wife Prabodh, along with former ABI President Bob Fishman (Shaw Fishman Glantz & Towbin).
