    Rainmaker: Superagent Hughes Norton and the Money-Grab Explosion of Golf

    ByAdmin March 24, 2024March 26, 2024

    “Now, in Rainmaker, Norton draws back the curtain on his meteoric rise and abrupt fall. With never-before-told stories and exclusive insights, he discusses what it was like being Tiger Wood’s first agent, his time representing the narcissistic Greg Norman, and shining a bright light on his sudden—and controversial—ouster as the head of IMG’s Golf Division—a juggernaut he helped build. This is an engaging and unforgettable memoir that explores golf as never before.”

    Report: Yale’s Ties to Slavery

    ByWayne Willis February 19, 2024February 19, 2024

    Since October 2020, the Yale and Slavery Research Project has conducted intensive research to provide a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the university’s past involvement with slavery. 

    In a major announcement on Feb. 16, Yale announced the publication of results in a book, a free pdf and an incredible interactive website that I strongly recommend you visit. Unlike Georgetown and Brown, Yale didn’t own slaves directly, but many of its early leaders and benefactors did.

    Last, the university issued a Statement acknowledging some of its institutional failings re: slavery and announcing some constructive programs, especially for New Haven.

    It’s survey time again!

    ByMike Baum and Tom Guterbock February 15, 2024February 16, 2024

    One of the many interesting things about our 50th Reunion was the Class Survey.  The response (both statistical and emotional) was so strong that we’re doing it again! The same team that created the 50th survey is about to launch a shorter but just as incisive questionnaire focused on what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and what’s new, as we totter into the second half of our 70s.

    Look for the email with the survey, coming soon.
