The magazine’s staffers have had their taste buds tickled and their bellies filled as we put together an issue that our staff focuses on food. (Excuse us if we’ve put on a few pounds Editor in the process.) Richard Byrne ’86 We also have not been starved for outside attention as Associate Editor a university or a magazine. Check out our “News” section Jenny O’Grady (pages 6 and 7) for stories about Time magazine’s recognition of UMBC president Design Director Freeman A. Hrabowski, III and the bevy of awards that UMBC Magazine already Jim Lord ’99 has picked up in its first months of existence. Designers But I want to spend a few moments articulating a particular hunger that we have Michelle Jordan ’93 at UMBC Magazine that needs to be satisfied. A craving, really. Melissa Van der Kaay Feedback from the readers of UMBC Magazine. UMBC News Staff In the coming months, we will be seeking out such feedback in formal ways, B. Rose Huber including a reconvening of the original focus groups that helped shape the initial Kavan Peterson vision of the magazine two years ago and a survey that we’ll be sending out Contributing Writers randomly to a wide cross-section of readers. Phoebe Connelly Ana Marie Cox But we really want readers to talk to us in other ways: especially with ideas for Joab Jackson ’90 stories, letters to the editor, and submissions to our class notes section. Jeff Seidel ’85 The first two elements are easy enough. We are delighted when we hear about an Joel N. Shurkin alumna or an alumnus whom a reader thinks we should profile, or a memory that James Taylor ’74 a reader thinks would make a great article. And we are eager for any thoughts you Editorial Intern have about the magazine in general or any stories in particular – positive or negative. Holly Britton ’11 Our decision to increase our type size between Winter 2009 and Summer 2009, for Contributing Photographers instance, was directly related to reader feedback. Tom Altany Tracey Brown Class notes, however, are a different issue. Traditionally, they are a vehicle to let Chris Hartlove your former classmates know about career achievements, marriages and new arrivals Michelle Jordan ’93 to your families. And we want all those submissions. Jim Lord ’99 But we’re also hoping that you’ll share other thoughts and memories with us in Erin Ouslander ’03 Melissa Van der Kaay the class notes: Have you run a marathon? Taken up a new hobby?

  • Rice Determined Not to Strike in NJ | Huffpost
    Rice Determined Not to Strike in NJ | HuffPost US EDITION THE BLOG 05/19/2014 03:52 pm ET | Updated Jul 19, 2014 Rice Determined Not to Strike in NJ By Marty Kaplan Forget whether former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson was paid more or less than her predecessor, Bill Keller. I want to know why Condoleezza Rice was paid more than Condoleezza Rice. Rutgers University offered $35,000 to George W. Bush’s national security advisor and secretary of state to speak at its commencement exercises on Sunday. But just a few weeks ago, Rice got $150,000 for giving a speech at the University of Minnesota’s Hubert Humphrey School of Public Affairs. As it turned out, pushback from some Rutgers faculty and students caused Rice to bow out, saying she didn’t want to be a “distraction.” Still, she accepted their lowball offer in the first place. Why the deep discount? Was she planning to be 80 percent more platitudinous in New Jersey than in Minnesota? Or maybe it was a pro rata deal, and she going to speak for 14 minutes in New Brunswick instead of the hour she talked in Minneapolis. It couldn’t be that she was embarrassed to have had such a good payday at the Humphrey School. Her 150 bills is apparently what the graduation market will bear. As Inside Higher Ed has recounted, Katie Couric got $110K to give the University of Oklahoma commencement speech, and that was back in 2006. Three years ago, Rudy Giuliani’s fee was $100,000 plus the cost of a private jet to get him to the podium.

  • U.S. Attorneys Scandal and the Allocation of Prosecutorial Power
    "The U.S. Attorneys Scandal" and the Allocation of Prosecutorial Power BRUCE A. GREEN* & FRED C. ZACHARIAS** I. INTRODUCTION In 1940, Attorney General (and future Supreme Court Justice) Robert H. Jackson spoke to United States Attorneys about their duty not only to be "diligent, strict, and vigorous in law enforcement" but also "to be just" and to "protect the spirit as well as the letter of our civil liberties."' His talk was dedicated mostly to the relationship between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Attorneys in their shared pursuit of justice. On one hand, he observed that "some measure of centralized control is necessary" to ensure consistent interpretations and applications of the law, to prevent the pursuit of "different conceptions of policy," to promote performance standards, and to provide specialized assistance.2 On the other hand, he acknowledged that a U.S. Attorney should rarely "be superseded in handling of litigation" and that it would be "an unusual case in which his judgment 3 should be overruled." Critics of George W. Bush's administration have charged that the balance in federal law enforcement has tipped in the direction of too little prosecutorial independence and too much centralized control. 4 One of their prime examples is the discharge of eight U.S. Attorneys in late 2006,5 which * Louis Stein Professor of Law and Director, Louis Stein Center for Law and Ethics, Fordham University School of Law.
