...even given her impressive duties, Faust wears two hats like a pro: she’s a mother as well as a career academic. Her husband, Charles E. Rosenberg, is the Monrad Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard. “He’s a totally brilliant man. The number one medical historian in the world,” said Preston. Together, Faust and Rosenberg form quite a power couple—but you would never guess it from their low-key demeanors. “When you sit and talk to them, power is the furthest thing...

Park is the daughter of Park Jung Hee, who served as South Korea’s president from 1961 until his assassination in 1979. Her mother had been assassinated in 1974.
