...globally,” Mancall wrote in an e-mail, adding that there will be some overlap in his new post in that he will continue to collaborate with his colleagues at the Freshman Dean’s Office (FDO). Mancall’s successor at the FDO, William Cooper ’94, was appointed the new resident dean of Ivy Yard late last month. Cooper previously worked in the Financial Aid Office and as a proctor in the Yard, according to Gross. Mancall is not the only FDO administrator to be offered a position in the APO. Former...
...host of CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 is famous for withstanding hurricanes and war zones. Now Cooper, 39, has successfully taken on the challenge of memoir writing. Dispatches from the Edge will hit No. 1 on next week's New York Times best-seller list. And this fall he will add stints on CBS's 60 Minutes to his busy schedule. Cooper talked with TIME's Andrea Sachs about growing up with a famous mom, dealing with family tragedy and learning lessons from Katrina...
...Cooper concedes that the support she has is extraordinary. She is probably the best-paid food-services director in the country: her $95,000 salary plus generous benefits is covered by Waters' Chez Panisse Foundation, which sees Berkeley as the launchpad for a nationwide revolution.

...didn't really happen organically. Over the past decade, Berkeley has become a paragon of school-lunch reform, thanks to the woman who helped hire Cooper--California cuisine pioneer Alice Waters. "We have to go into the public-school system and educate children when they're very young," says Waters, whose famed Berkeley restaurant, Chez Panisse, features seasonal meals made from local produce. Waters started educating children 10 years ago, creating the Edible Schoolyard at Berkeley's Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School. There, kids spend 90 minutes a week planting and harvesting produce and cooking their own healthy food...
Even with such initiatives in place, school food was far from the Chez Panisse ideal before Cooper came to town last October. The bread was white, the fruit canned, the meat highly processed. Now Cooper has inked deals with local suppliers for whole-wheat rolls, fresh produce, even grass-fed beef. Her staff of 53, accustomed to reheating food from outside vendors for the 4,000 lunches, 1,500 breakfasts and 1,500 snacks served each day, is learning to make meals from scratch...
