  • Grand Opening of the Sl Green Streetsquash Center
    Looking back at our First year in the new building! Summer 2009 11. 20. 2008: GRAND OPENING OF THE SL GREEN STREETSQUASH CENTER Program Director Leah Brown (far left), StreetSquash alum Davian Suckoo (far right), and Hillary Clinton pose with student ambassadors at the opening. What had once been a long-shot dream for a small non-profit was now there for all to see: 8 squash courts, 4 classrooms, a 1,000 square foot library, locker rooms and an office for 14 staff. On a memorable and emotional evening, over 400 people came to see the final product of 5 years of hard work. Almost every person in attendance had in one way or another contributed to the creation of the $9 million SL Green StreetSquash Center. The Grand Opening attracted a wide array of public officials and members of the extended StreetSquash family. In attendance were Hillary Clinton; Shaun Donovan, U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; Scott Stringer, Manhattan Borough President; and Inez Dickens, NYC Council Member. Several StreetSquash alumni came back from college for the event. Board members brought friends and family. Supporters from Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia made the trip to see, firsthand, what a 19,000 square foot squash and education center looked like. Senator Clinton kicked off the celebration with a rousing speech about the importance of after school programs and the need for everyone to pitch in and make a difference. After having been given a tour of the facility by a few StreetSquashers, she remarked on the amazing opportunities that this Center would provide these students for years to come.

  • Sir Harold Evans Former Editor, the Sunday Times Media Masters – December 20, 2018 Listen to the Podcast Online, Visit
    Sir Harold Evans Former Editor, The Sunday Times Media Masters – December 20, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m here in New York, and joined by Sir Harold Evans, former editor of the Sunday Times. A reporter at 16, he completed National Service in the RAF before graduating from Durham University. He quickly rose through the ranks at the Manchester Evening News and became editor of the Northern Echo at 31. Revered throughout Fleet Street, his name is synonymous with the golden age of investigative journalism. During his 14-year tenure at the Sunday Times, he campaigned for and won compensation for children affected by thalidomide. He moved to the US in 1984 where he was founding editor of Condé Nast Traveler. Now editor- at-large at Reuters, he is also a best-selling author of a number of books on American history and journalism. Sir Harry, thank you for joining me. Pleasure. Even though you’re from Yorkshire. Yes. I know we... It’s the War of the Roses isn’t it? So we agree to set aside our differences for the next hour? I think we should, otherwise we’ll never get out of the studio. Well, indeed. You lot won, of course, but we’ll move swiftly on from that. It is a pleasure to talk to you, Sir Harry, I’ve been looking forward to this for many years. When I started this podcast three years ago, I remember saying to my wife at the time, “We need some big names on like Harold Evans.” So I’m very pleased.

  • Download the Paper (PDF)
    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series Leading the Way to Better News: The Role of Leadership in a World Where Most of the “Powers That Be” Became the “Powers That Were” By Geoffrey Cowan Shorenstein Center Fellow, Fall 2007 University Professor and Annenberg Family Chair in Communication Leadership, University of Southern California February 15, 2008 #D-44 © 2008 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. Abstract During the past several years, as traditional news operations have faced sharp declines in circulation, advertising, viewership, and audiences, and as they have begun to make a seemingly unrelenting series of cuts in the newsroom budgets, scholars and professionals have been seeking formulas or models designed to reverse the trend. During those same years, many of the major news organizations that dominated the landscape a generation ago, those that David Halberstam called “The Powers That Be,” have lost their leadership role and been absorbed by other companies. This paper argues that while there is good reason to worry about the decline in what might be called “boots-on-the-ground” journalism, there are reasons to be hopeful. While most of those concerned with the topic have urged structural changes in ownership, this paper argues that the key is leadership. To understand the demands on leaders, it is essential to understand which of three motives is most important to the publication’s owners: profits, influence, or personal prestige. Each motive presents distinct challenges and opportunities. Looking at the fate of a number of large media organizations over the past decade, the paper argues that the most important model for success is outstanding leadership that combines a talent for business, entrepreneurship and innovation with a profound commitment to great journalism.

  • Porcellian Club Veterans
    Advocates for Harvard ROTC H PORCELLIAN CLUB MEMBER VETERANS As a result of their military service, Crimson warriors became part of a “Band of Brothers”. The following is an illustrative but not exhaustive listing of military oriented biographies of veterans whose initial exposure to non-family “brotherhood” were as members of various social and final clubs as undergraduates at Harvard. CIVIL WAR - HARVARD COLLEGE BY CLASS 18 34 Major General Henry C. Wayne CSA Born in Georgia – Georgia Militia Infantry Henry was the son of a lawyer and US congressman from Georgia who was later appointed as justice to the US Supreme Court by President Andrew Jackson.

  • Harris on Evans, 'War Stories: Reporting in the Time of Conflict from the Crimea to Iraq'
    JHistory Harris on Evans, 'War Stories: Reporting in the Time of Conflict from the Crimea to Iraq' Review published on Wednesday, November 1, 2006 Harold Evans. War Stories: Reporting in the Time of Conflict from the Crimea to Iraq. Boston and London: Bunker Hill Publishing, 2003. 96 pp. $12.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-59373-005-5. Reviewed by John Harris (Western Washington University) Published on Jhistory (November, 2006) Shortly after the January 2005 election in Iraq,New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman was discussing media coverage of the war on CNN's "Reliable Sources." Host Howard Kurtz asked Friedman if journalists were so focused on what was going wrong that they missed the progress that was being made. Friedman responded that he wouldn't be too hard on the media; under the circumstances, mistakes are bound to occur. Journalists run the risk of being shot, deliberately or accidentally, and they could be kidnapped or beheaded. "The conditions are not difficult," he said. "They are impossible." Every journalist who has worked in Iraq, he added, deserves the Medal of Freedom. Statistics compiled by the Committee to Protect Journalists support Friedman's points. Twenty-two journalists died in Iraq in 2005, bringing the total to 60 deaths between March 2003 and the end of last year. That makes Iraq the deadliest conflict in the twenty-four years the committee has kept track of media deaths. All of this brings to mind two questions: How do journalists manage to do their jobs in such a bloody and dangerous conflict? And, why are they willing to put themselves in harm's way in the first place? Harold Evans's War Stories doesn't answer those questions definitively, but it does provide insight into the hows and whys of covering the war in Iraq, as well as past wars.

  • A TEN YEAR REPORT the Institute of Politics
    A TEN YEAR REPORT 1966-1967 to 1976-1977 The Institute of Politics John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government Harvard University A TEN YEAR REPORT 1966-1967 to 1976-1977 The Institute of Politics John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government Harvard University 1 The Institute of Politics Richard E. Neustadt, Director, 1966-1971 The urge to found an Institute of Politics had little to do with Harvard. It came, rather, from a natural concern of President Kennedy's family and friends after his death. The JFK library, al­ ready planned to house his presidential papers, was also to have been a headquarters for him when he retired from the Presidency. Now it would be not a living center focussed on him, active in the present, facing the future, but instead only an archive and museum faced to­ ward the past. The Institute was somehow to provide the living ele­ ment in what might otherwise soon turn into a "dead" memorial. Nathan Pusey, at the time Harvard's President, then took an initiative with Robert Kennedy, proposing that the Institute be made a permanent part of Harvard's Graduate School of Public Administra­ tion. The School—uniquely among Harvard's several parts—would be named for an individual, John F. Kennedy. Robert Kennedy ac­ cepted; these two things were done. The Kennedy Library Corpora­ tion, a fund-raising body charged to build the Library, contributed endowment for an Institute at Harvard. The University renamed its School the John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government, and created within it the Institute of Politics.
