...asked about my godson, who had just begun his freshman year at Wake Forest, where he was hoping against hope for a walk-on nod from the terrific baseball program there. Bo had been at two or three of the recent post-season games, as had his mom, and was a true-blue Red Sox devotee...
...world. One of the CEA recommendations is that Harvard science departments work to develop opportunities at laboratories and field stations around the world—the same should be said for all the Harvard departments. Harvard currently has a villa in Italy and a laboratory in Chile (and a forest in New Zealand).

Goldsmith says he went after Crown Zellerbach for its almost 2 million acres of timberland holdings. Said he: "It's a huge gamble, but in the long run the price of timber will rise." Some industry observers think that he may restructure the company, keeping the forest holdings but selling off pulp and paper mills. In 1982 Goldsmith purchased Diamond International, another timber-products company, and then sold off pulp, paper and other divisions for an estimated $500 million gain.
