—Felix Rohatyn, the financier and government adviser who was credited with helping to save New York City from ruin during the 1970s as chairman of the agency that oversaw the city’s finances, died Saturday. He was 91.
Born in Vienna in 1928, Rohatyn fled Nazi-occupied France with his family in 1940 and arrived in the United States in 1942. Rohatyn likened his work brokering financial deals to the job of a surgeon. “I get called when something is broken,” he told The Associated Press in 1978. “I’m supposed to operate, fix it up and leave as little blood on the floor as possible.”
