| | Rescuing the World: The Life and Times of Leo Cherne |
 | | Without formal training, Cherne also became a successful sculptor and his works have graced the Cabinet Room in the White House, the Smithsonian Institution, and numerous museums. |
 | | A consummate networker, Cherne had the uncanny ability to attract and cultivate talented people before they became prominent, including such figures as John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Patrick Moynihan, Claiborne Pell, Tom Dooley, William Casey, John Whitehead, and Henry A. Kissinger. |
 | | Although he was a successful entrepreneur, Cherne's real love was humanitarian work, particularly with the International Rescue Committee (IRC), which he chaired for forty years. |
