J-Crew Returns from Winter Break
Section J returned to the HBS scene with renewed vitality from a well-deserved winter break. While some felt the bite of the economy and went in search of summer jobs, some preferred to ski, socialize or do the old-fashioned “Home for the Holidays.” Many came back loaded with goodies like Julie Bell who came back… Continue reading J-Crew Returns from Winter Break

Lunching in Katharine Graham's Dining Room
She had been called the most powerful woman in the world. To us summer interns, she was the boss. And although we hadn’t met her ourselves, Susan Chen (OA), Beth Howe (OC) and I were undeniably moved when Katharine Graham died on July 17. For several reasons, we felt as though we had known the… Continue reading Lunching in Katharine Graham's Dining Room
A New Generation of Patriots
Like most Americans, I have been consuming a lot of news over the past week. TV, newspapers and emails from friends. Two of the most poignant pieces that I have read were sent to me via email. One, from the Miami Herald on September 12, 2001, captures the essence of our anger and the American… Continue reading A New Generation of Patriots

K-School Panel Discusses Future of Black Music Local Entertainment Panel Analysis
The Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics Forum hummed with activity on Friday afternoon [February 28], as enthusiastic members of the Harvard community dodged television cameras, a coterie of technicians and the space’s usual foot traffic in search of seats for Whose Music Is It Anyway?, a panel on the future of African-American music and the… Continue reading K-School Panel Discusses Future of Black Music Local Entertainment Panel Analysis

ESPN (C)
I am an ESPN fiend. I will watch it throughout the weekend. I will watch it while reading a case during the weekdays. I will watch it while eating dinner with friends at a restaurant, by using a quick look-away technique I’ve perfected where I can have a conversation, eat my food, and watch ESPN… Continue reading ESPN (C)

An Unconditional Apology
Wow, this week has seen some developments – Nick’s tragic withdrawal from editing the Harbus, CNN coverage of the event and a question over the freedom of speech in Harvard. I felt a little left out so, to join in the spirit of “covering my butt,” I’d like to just make the following apologies. They… Continue reading An Unconditional Apology
The HBS Game Show
Thank you to all those who expressed concern over the plight of my son and his quarter last week. The good news is that he is now slightly lighter and we are once again slightly richer. Well, we were until I went to Spangler the other day. As I was walking back sucking my Chupa… Continue reading The HBS Game Show
Spangler Food Court and Grille: Convenience, Variety and the Elusive Sideburn Man
On the surface, the Spangler Food Court and Grill may seem like just any other cafeteria. A closer look, however, reveals more depth and character than would seem possible in such a convenient spot. With two floors and a wide selection of dishes, this is the place to see and be seen when dining in… Continue reading Spangler Food Court and Grille: Convenience, Variety and the Elusive Sideburn Man

Media Morality… Misplaced
I am horrified. CBS has decided to air two hours of never-seen-before graphic footage of the September 11th attacks on Sunday, March 10th, despite objections from several Senators, a prosecutor, and many victims’ family members. In the New York Times, William Schmidt, the prosecutor who urged CBS to wait another six months before airing the… Continue reading Media Morality… Misplaced
Uhm, ah, er, would you like to improve your, uhm, ah, public speaking skills?
Prior to Harvard Business School, I thought a great deal about what I wanted to focus on during my eighteen month “vacation.” The list was long and included activities similar to many of my peers: traveling to exotic places, contemplating the future, seeking interesting business ideas, spending money as if I had endless amounts of… Continue reading Uhm, ah, er, would you like to improve your, uhm, ah, public speaking skills?
So You Want To Be In Theatre?
Harvard Business School is teeming with theatrical talent – you only have to witness the handling of unprepared cold calls to see that the MBA class knows how to give a great performance. It was, therefore, with some trepidation that I decided to audition for the HBS show. I have always loved acting, and performed… Continue reading So You Want To Be In Theatre?
The Intraview's Post Game Interview
Me ‘n’ Him Goldie: Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. You overestimate me. You seem to think that your match-up was somehow less scientific than my usual matches, but in fact this Intraview rated about average in terms of the scientific calculus of the match. Now, if I had just met you on the street, that would have… Continue reading The Intraview's Post Game Interview
The Truth About Air Travel
Contrary to popular assumptions, on a recent flight to Europe, I was pleased to note that many things about flying are the same as ever before. It all begins with the ceremonial game “Fear Factor: No Luggage Space,” whereby participants attempt to outfox each other to be the first ones on the plane in order… Continue reading The Truth About Air Travel
SUPER BOWL XXXVI
In case you didn’t know, the Super Bowl is on this weekend. For most Americans, this is pretty close to a national holiday – in fact productivity experts might suggest that the day after the Super Bowl (as well as the first two days of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament) should be a national holiday.… Continue reading SUPER BOWL XXXVI

Focus on – Live Music
Live music is music at its rawest, music at its most pure. It is undoubtedly the ultimate test of the artist, for over the course of an hour and a half you discover if the artist can sing and can play their instruments as well as their record company would have you believe. It is… Continue reading Focus on – Live Music
A CEO's Guide to Surviving in Prison:
Recently, the Leadership & Ethics Forum invited a most unusual guest to come to speak at the Harvard Business School. You might expect a well-known CEO to lecture about how stealing is bad, or a respected Sr. VP to analyze why it’s wrong to hold your competitor’s children as bargaining chips. You might even hope… Continue reading A CEO's Guide to Surviving in Prison:

Third Millennium
As we enter into February of the year 2001, I can’t avoid looking back… to our recent past … to the year 2000. The year 2000… it is over… it feels strange. Millions of people had been looking forward to it – anxiously – for years, perhaps decades. Literarily millions of clocks around the world,… Continue reading Third Millennium
HBS Meets Reality: Episode One
I never thought I’d utter these words, but I’m inspired by the second season of “The Apprentice.” Sure, the pervasiveness of reality television is but one example of the mass-commercialization of the lowest common denominator. The shows are effectively low-budget, low-brow productions hosted by has-been celebrities (or worse, their trashy family members) in need of… Continue reading HBS Meets Reality: Episode One
A&E: A Minute With
