Vernon Jordan: More than a "First Friend"
Vernon Jordan has a remarkable story, and last Monday he came to the Kennedy School Forum to tell it. Jordan is a rare individual; an African-American who can lay claim to both a distinguished career in the civil rights movement and a seat in the top rank of the American legal and financial establishment. He… Continue reading Vernon Jordan: More than a "First Friend"
Watching Kobe and Ray Allen
After getting dinged on a final round interview, I decided to sulk by watching the Lakers and Sonics game before coming home on the red eye flight back to the east coast. Here are my thoughts on the game. The Seattle arena announcer calls the newly acquired Ray Allen “Sugar Ray” Allen. I ask the… Continue reading Watching Kobe and Ray Allen
Sharon vs. Arafat:
Many student and alumni readers of The Harbus took offense at last week’s article, “Sharon vs. Arafat: An Alternative Approach to Peace in the Middle East.” At best, the article displays a partial and flawed understanding of Middle East history. At worst, it misleads readers into accepting lopsided logic. Among the troubling arguments are the… Continue reading Sharon vs. Arafat:
Game Notes: Nobody Beats the Wiz
Somehow I scored not just good seats , but great seats; the best seats and to Michael Jordan’s last game in Boston, directly behind the Celtic’s bench, close enough to hear Antoine Walker scream “[Explicative]” after missing a key free throw in the fourth quarter. Close enough to grab a Gatorade from the Celtics drink… Continue reading Game Notes: Nobody Beats the Wiz

Let’s be honest, did Jordan need help dunking? Did Shakespeare need help writing sonnets? Did Bush need help in Iraq?… Continue reading We Need Your Help

Immersion Experience – USAID: Jordan Trip
Three HBS students were sponsored by USAID during the winter break to participate in a three week consultancy project in the Jordanian water sector. With water supplied 2 days or fewer out of 7 to most Jordanians, the water sector is of huge importance and is in need of drastic steps. It was a challenging… Continue reading Immersion Experience – USAID: Jordan Trip
HBS Students Face Fear on the Flying Trapeze
Attending Boston Trapeze School Some people are scared of spiders, others fear the dark, and still others are terrified of public speaking. I am afraid of heights. As a child this fear left me content to hold everyone’s belongings and watch from the ground while my friends rode the newest, tallest, fastest, twenty loop, upside… Continue reading HBS Students Face Fear on the Flying Trapeze
