I hate this kind of sloppy writing. Why not just come out and say "...who, at 39, became the youngest..."?
According to wikipedia, he is the elder son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo of New York, and was married to (now divorced from) a daugher of Robert F. Kennedy. (Forgive me for living under a rock.)
Regards,
Cuomo was NOT the only one. These organizations have provided cushy jobs with astronomical salaries and nothing much to do during their entire existence, and BOTH parties have made use of them. This link lists the recent crooks in control - and the hole that they crawled out of. I think that most of them belong behind bars, but I doubt it will happen.
