MAY 15, 2016 JACQUELINE BRODY COLUMBIA — “A devoted wife and mother, far more precious than jewels.” Jackie Brody, 88, beloved widow of Alex Brody of Sumter, died on May 12, 2016, at home in Columbia. Born on Oct. 8, 1927, in Hopewell, Virginia, she was a daughter of BRODY Harry and Frieda Goldman. She graduated from Endicott College in 1948, a small seaside private college, known for its vision to educate women for greater independence and position as the country emerged from wartime and the Depression. Jackie was the daily refuge for 47 years for her husband, Alex, a longtime clothing merchant in Sumter, until his death in 1997. We remember her unwavering independent style of strength, convictions and responsibility, along with her beauty, twinkling eyes and easy laugh. Her hospitality shone in her love of family and friends gathered for her sensational dinners and stimulating, always lively, conversations on current issues. She loved reading, bridge, golf, politics, dogs, investing, long walks and classic movies. She was great company. The funeral service will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Temple Sinai, 11 Church St., Sumter. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday at 23 Huntwick Court, Arcadia Lakes, Columbia. Interment will be private. She will be missed dearly by her daughter, Sheila Brody Cooke of Columbia; son, Mark I. Brody of Greenville; and granddaughters, Tao Brody of Charlotte and Tate Brody of Greenville. The family is very grateful to Hospice Care of Tri-County for their diligent care, especially the love and kindness of all her personal caregivers. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Temple Sinai, 11 Church St., Sumter SC 29150 or Hospice Care of Tri-County, 166 Stoneridge Drive No. 100, Columbia SC 29210.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Rock concert rallies versus intimate town halls. Adoring groupies versus dutiful voters. Sweeping promises versus targeted proposals. Whether Hillary Clinton is competing against Democratic rival Bernie Sanders or presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, one concern is much the same. They are outsider candidates riding a wave of populist excitement, while she is viewed as a traditional, establishment choice. As a result, her campaign sometimes just looks a little less exciting. Clinton has won far more votes than any other 2016 candidate. But if she moves into a general election matchup

with Trump, she may continue to be dogged by questions about voter enthusiasm, especially as Trump pledges to continue his raucous rallies. Clinton’s supporters say they are not worried. “Big crowds mean nothing,” said former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell. “You don’t get extra points for an enthusiastic vote versus a moderately enthusiastic vote.” Still, the differences are clear. In recent days, Sanders rallied with roughly 4,000 in Salem, Oregon, and Trump drew thousands in Bellingham, Washington. Clinton held a rally with more than 1,000 people in New Jersey, but also spoke about family issues at a gather-

ing with about 15 in northern Virginia. Trump’s large crowds were good for more than his ego. They helped him power past his numerous rivals and to the verge of clinching the nomination as Clinton continues mopping up against her last remaining challenger. “I think the rallies for Trump are the demonstration of his appeal as I think the rallies for Sanders are the demonstration of his appeal,” said Republican pollster Greg Strimple. He added that Sanders’ crowds have exposed some of Clinton’s weaknesses and he would not have generated that energy “if the Democrats were so enamored of her candidacy.”
