A few dozen classmates joined Host Art Segal and guest Art Klebanoff for a mid-summer afternoon Zoominar on “publishing,” as seen through the eyes of Art Klebanoff’s career as lawyer, agent and publisher. See Class Colloquium 18: Klebanoff – Publishing, “A Life in Publishing: 50 Years Spent Bringing the Facts of Life into Focus” for details on the program and Klebanoff’s bona fides.
Without further ado, here is the recording of the conversation:
Join in a Class Colloquium featuring Art Klebanoff, who is still trailblazing new business models in the world of publishing.

This website was started in 2016 to give the Class an online home in the runup to the 50th Reunion. It proved to be popular and found renewed purpose after celebrating the 50th when the pandemic drove us all indoors and online, including to the wonderful series of Class Colloquia. But several issues and problems…

Every year in late fall, the airways are filled with ads for Medicare alternatives. Which ones, if any, should you consider?
Robert Riehle, MD (and Branford ’69) has seen both sides — as medical director of Aetna (and earlier at Cigna and Blue Shield) AND as a surgeon and physician executive. He’ll share his thoughts on how to decide what’s best for you … and field your questions. Register now for the Wednesday afternoon Class Colloquium – November 30th at 3:00 pm EDT.
Earlier this year, a few ’69ers who were student broadcasters at WYBC organized some Zoom meetings to reconnect, reminisce and socialize a bit. We also hosted some substantive discussions about WYBC developments and updates on the radio industry more broadly.
We are inviting all classmates to listen to the zoom recordings of the previously recorded sessions and/or to add your name to the email list for this group. You do not have to be a former WYBC-er to join our group. Everyone is welcome.
Classmate and conservative radio host Michael Medved will speak to us privately about the Republican Party, the upcoming elections and the Trump phenomenon.
Almost a quarter of our Class identifies as “conservative” and one-third as “moderate or conservative.” But today’s Republicans are NOT the same as the Republican Party of our parents.
Register for the 7:30 PM (ET) zoominar on Thursday 9/22 for Michael’s views, some Q&A and “breakout groups” for broader discussions.
Yale awarded our very own Myron Thompson with an honorary Doctor of Laws degree for his extraordinary service to the country as a District Court judge for the Middle District of Alabama these past 42 years.
Gas prices spiking at the pump, war in Ukraine, Russia versus the U.S., new threats of nuclear weapons. Once again the world is on edge with a global energy crisis. (Remember OPEC and long gas lines in the ’70s?)
These dangerous developments come on top of transformative changes in energy markets – fracking and the shale revolution, cost-effective renewables, China and India becoming big-time players, a new race for critical minerals used in new technologies.
Dan Yergin ’68, energy expert (yes, the one you’ve seen on TV), will brief us on what is actually going on – and what it means for us – and answer your questions. Be sure to register now for the May 19th zoominar.
What IS “Depression” anyway? Not the economic one — the psychological one. And what is going on when Depression hits later in life, in your 70s?
Our guide will be a world-class expert, classmate Jerry Rosenbaum, MD, who served as former Chief of Psychiatry at Mass General. (See his incredible resume for more.) Jerry will share the latest understanding of clinical depression in septuagenarians and report on promising new therapeutics (including psychedelics). Register now for March 9th at 1:30 pm EST.
Something on the order of half of us will deal with dementia — either our own or our spouse’s. Class Secretary Dr. Art Segal and Class Council member Dr. Ken Davis have arranged for two experts to join us for a close look at the disease, what can be done to forestall or attenuate it and what else we should know. Their presentation will be followed by your questions and candid conversation.
Richard Seltzer keeps up the torrid pace of publishing with the release of his latest novel, Shakespeare’s Twin Sister. He reports, “I had a LOT of fun with this one!”
The plot device is clever: Shakespeare’s twin sister Kate wakes up in the body of a 99-year-old woman in a nursing home in 1987. She has […]
We have an opportunity that I’d like you to consider: Representing the Class to the Yale Alumni Association (YAA), and vice-versa, as our “Delegate” to the YAA.
Formerly known as the AYA, the YAA coordinates all reunions, Class activities, and alumni programs. As our delegate, you’ll participate in the annual November “Assembly” (virtual this year).
