Jerry Nadler, Adriano Espaillat and Dan Goldman \u2013\u00a0are heading for the exits, with a trio of politicians lined up to succeed them. Meanwhile, there\u2019s a new U.S attorney for the Southern District of New York, a new leader of the Partnership for New York City and a new president of Columbia University \u2013 and it\u2019s an open question what each one will make of their new job.<\/p>\n
