Los Angeles, CA - Gerald Ford, whose brief U.S. presidency is remembered mainly for his controversial pardon of Richard Nixon, was honored on Wednesday as a man who tried to heal a divided country.

The oldest living president at 93, Ford died on Tuesday of undisclosed causes at his home in California.

Ford was the only U.S. president not elected to either the presidency or vice presidency. He was appointed vice president in 1973 after Nixon's vice president, Spiro Agnew, resigned to avoid prosecution on corruption charges.

The knife and note as they were found by Rabbi Marozov outside the Chabad House.

Ulyanovsk, Russia — At twilight on December 26, unidentified thugs plunged a swastika-engraved dagger through a note that threatened: “We should kill the Jews or teach our children to kill them” into a tree just outside the Chabad house in Ulyanovsk, Russia. Chabad representative to this Russian city situated about 500 miles east of Moscow, Rabbi Yossi Marozov discovered the note when he ventured outside to investigate after a bottle filled with gasoline that crashed through the synagogue’s front window.
