born Dec. 12, 1924, New York, N.Y., U.S. U.S. politician. After serving in the army during World War II, he graduated from New York University Law School.

Koch is credited with bringing fiscal stability to the insolvent city and with instituting merit selection of city judges.

He later became a columnist and talk-show host
