...fellow and Government graduate student Samuel W. Goldman doesn’t look much like a punk rocker. His curriculum vitae, which includes publications in the Weekly Standard and Wall Street Journal and a thesis-in-progress advised by Harvey C. Mansfield ’53, is not a product of counterculture. Looks can be deceiving. “When I was in high school, I was, not to say a leader,” Goldman says, “but maybe a fixture in the New York area punk scene.” His first foray into the genre...
...interview for Kopko on Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show.” “I was shocked by how some people reacted,” Kopko says of DormAid’s early days. His goal was not to sell an exclusive product but to “make people productive and happy.” DormAid’s upcoming work in student finance is an example of its commitment to increasing all students’ productivity, he says.

...public charter school in Dearborn, Mich. This fall, 10th-graders in Charles Dershimer's science class began a project that combines concepts from earth science, chemistry, business and design. After reading about Nike's efforts to develop a more environmentally friendly sneaker, students had to choose a consumer product, analyze and explain its environmental impact and then develop a plan for re-engineering it to reduce pollution costs without sacrificing its commercial appeal. Says Dershimer: "It's a challenge for them...
