ALLEN: Again, I'm not going to spend much time introducing our panelists, but I will tell you just a little about them, since they are all good friends. We're going to go in the order that is on your programs. We will start with Larry Mead, who is a professor of politics at NYU, where he teaches public policy and American government. Professor Mead has written extensively on poverty and welfare in the United States and has been very much involved in the welfare debate. Next we will then have Leon Dash, my former colleague at the Washington Post, where he worked, with brief interruptions for such things as being in the Peace Corps and being a foreign correspondent. He worked for 30 years and piled up so many prizes that it would take a half an hour to describe them all, but among them was a Pulitzer.

  • Lawyer NEW DEAN TAKES CHARGE
    Stanford FALL 2004 FALL Lawyer NEW DEAN TAKES CHARGE Larry D. Kramer brings fresh ideas, lots of energy, and a willingness to stir things up a bit. Remember Stanford... F rom his family’s apricot orchard in Los Altos Hills, young Thomas Hawley could see Hoover Tower and hear the cheers in Stanford Stadium. “In those days my heroes were John Brodie and Chuck Taylor,” he says, “and my most prized possessions were Big Game programs.” Thomas transferred from Wesleyan University to Stanford as a junior in and two years later enrolled in the Law School, where he met John Kaplan. “I took every course Professor Kaplan taught,” says Thomas. “He was a brilliant, often outrageous teacher, who employed humor in an attempt to drive the law into our not always receptive minds.” In choosing law, Thomas followed in the footsteps of his father, Melvin Hawley (L.L.B. ’), and both grandfathers. “I would have preferred to be a professional quarterback or an opera singer,” he says (he fell in love with opera while at Stanford-in-Italy), “and I might well have done so but for a complete lack of talent.” An estate planning attorney on the Monterey Peninsula, Thomas has advised hundreds of families how to make tax-wise decisions concerning the distribution of their estates. When he decided the time had come to sell his rustic Carmel cottage, he took his own advice and put the property in a charitable remainder trust instead, avoiding the capital gains tax he otherwise would have paid upon sale. When the trust terminates, one-half of it will go to Stanford Law School.
