  • Master Builder Mortimer Zuckerman Reflects on Business, the Media, Public Policy, Philanthropy, and Living a Life ‘Better Than My Fantasies’
    MASTER BUILDER MORTIMER ZUCKERMAN REFLECTS ON BUSINESS, THE MEDIA, PUBLIC POLICY, PHILANTHROPY, AND LIVING A LIFE ‘BETTER THAN MY FANTASIES’ Mortimer B. Zuckerman Chairman and CEO, Boston Properties; Publisher, New York Daily News Chairman and Editor-in-Chief, U.S. News & World Report February 8, 2013 Excerpts from Mr. Zuckerman’s Remarks College Rankings: Do people ask, how can I get my rankings in U.S. News’ college rankings higher? It is certainly a continuous topic of conversation, and it has had, I have to say, a remarkable impact on the world of education, something which we did not anticipate when it first came about. Canadian Heritage: Do you speak French? I actually did speak French. I have not found it useful in Boston. Interest rates: I’ve literally been bearish about the economy really since 2006. I’m still bearish about the economy. So I don’t know that rents are going to go up, but I also don’t know that interest rates are going to go up until the economy gets better. And, therefore, I think there’ll be some relative degree of sustainability of prices, but not necessarily based on their income, which is the thing that worries me. So I’m cautious about either buying buildings or starting buildings. We are doing it in some markets, when we have it pre-leased as we do – we’re going to build a 500,000 square-foot building here in Washington – another one. But we have a major tenant taking roughly 80 percent of that. We have the ability to do that because we have credibility in the market, but that’s the kind of construction or new development we would do.

  • Stereotypes and Stories: the Effect of Storytelling in the Political Arena
    Stereotypes and Stories: The Effect of Storytelling in the Political Arena By Myra Brielle Harbin Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Political Science August 2016 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Larry Bartels, Ph.D. Marc Hetherington, Ph.D. John Geer, Ph.D. Monique Lyle, Ph.D. Wendy Schiller, Ph.D. Copyright © 2016 by Myra Brielle Harbin All Rights Reserved. ii DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Alan Zuckerman. Alan led the first seminar I took in graduate school at Brown: research design. Over the course of the semester, he challenged my thinking and gave me tools to think rigorously about concept formation, research design and how to move beyond methodological dogmatism. Alan was also a great source of support in my earliest days of graduate school. He encouraged me to draw on my experiences working in Washington and living abroad when forming research questions. I still remember going to his office one afternoon and nervously telling him that I wanted to forgo the typical path of Americanists in the department and study American and Comparative Politics. As I finished explaining why studying comparative politics was so important to me, I looked up at Alan who was smiling at me from across his desk. He told me that he was certain I had important things to say in both fields. He also told me he would do whatever he could to help me. Anyone who knew Alan likely understands why his words left such an impression on me.

  • Obama's Foreign Policy Spells America's Decline.” Now, This Is a Debate
    Intelligence Squared U.S. - 1 - 5/11/2010 Intelligence Squared U.S. Contact Publicist: Eileen Murphy 590 Madison Avenue, 30 th Fl. T: 917-913-2233 New York, NY 10022 [email protected] May 11, 2010 Obama’s foreign policy spells America’s decline For the motion: Dan Senor and Mort Zuckerman Against the motion: Wesley Clark and Bernard-Henri Lévy Moderator: John Donvan RESULTS Before the debate: After the debate: 23% FOR 34% FOR 45% AGAINST 58% AGAINST 32% UNDECIDED 8% UNDECIDED Robert Rosenkranz: Proponents of tonight’s motion will say that President Obama is alienating our allies. He has snubbed the British and distanced himself from the Israelis. India feels it is taking a back seat to cozier relations with China. The Poles and Czechs are troubled that we cancelled long-planned, missile defense installations, presumably in the interests of better relations with Russia. Obama has committed vast American military resources to shoring up the corrupt Karzai government in Afghanistan, but hasn’t allocated a single dollar of the stimulus package to defense spending. And finally, his administration wasted a year on diplomacy with Iran. We are finally pushing a sanctions regime which will, at best, be watered down by the Russians and Chinese. Whatever the rhetoric, we seem to be acquiescing to an Iranian nuclear bomb. The actions of his administration accommodate our adversaries by respecting their domestic political institutions and their regional hegemony. In the words of historian Robert Kagan, “Instead of trying to reverse the decline of American power, they are reorienting American foreign policy to adjust to it.” The counter argument is that the substance of Obama’s policy simply represents a new realism in foreign affairs.
