...Scientology, is no stranger to controversy and the absurd. In their fight to protect animals, they have done everything from hurling paint on old women wearing fur to distastefully comparing chicken farming to Nazism and the Holocaust.With the rise of ubiquitous internet media though, PETA has refocused their attack on the mediums with the highest hit count: pornography and viral videos.Whether the cause be “Don’t Wear Fur” or “Don’t Eat Meat,” PETA has decided that one way they can get people?...
...faculty employees would be laid off. Harvard has laid off 275 employees, out of a staff of 13,000. The so-called Yale model of endowment management—characterized by significant exposure to nontraditional, illiquid asset classes including private equity—has come under attack in recent years as many university endowments, including Harvard’s, have suffered heavy losses with that strategy in the economic downturn. Yale’s endowment return has averaged 15.9 percent over the last 20 years, excluding fiscal year 2008, according to the 2008 endowment report. Yale is expected to release...
What was your involvement with the 9/11 Commission? I was assigned to head a team looking at the day of 9/11 itself and our response to the attack.

The chaos that occurred on 9/11 was really inseparable from the various policy decisions and communication lapses and failures to share information throughout the government in the preceding decade. It all revolved around what I call an estrangement between the people running the departments and agencies and the people who were actually operational. [Former FBI Director] Louis Freeh could identify terrorism as a major threat, but that imperative got lost somewhere in the bureaucracy. The same thing happened throughout the government...
...book, you draw a lot of parallels between the response at 9/11 and the response to Hurricane Katrina. The chaos of 9/11 has been ascribed in large degree to the fact that the nature of the attack was a surprise. We knew there was a terrorist threat; we didn't know it would become manifest in this particular way. What was different with Katrina was that it was an event that had been anticipated and planned for in the gulf region for decades. So whatever you can say about the response to Katrina, it was not a consequence of surprise...
