About Those Cars
About those zippy little Mercedes roadsters. It turns out I was lost, but now am found: they don’t belong to Steven Kadish and Linda Snyder at all, despite rumors to the contrary. Apologies are perhaps in order, though it is not clear that being accused of owning a really hot car constitutes disparagement. My son thought it was a compliment!
In any event, it seems that the Benzes are owned by consultants who are in town to work for the College. Needless to say, upon learning this fact, I became concerned that they were rented vehicles whose cost was being passed on to the College as an expense (I had some experience with this type of scurrilous behavior in the 1980’s Decade of Greed). However a close inspection of the SLK55 showed no evidence of rental tags.
On to weightier matters.

Fare Thee Well, Tom Crady
And now Dean Tom Crady has precipitously announced his departure from the College after only 20 months on the job. How to read this? By way of background, prior to coming to Dartmouth, Crady had… -

Kangaroo Court, Indeed
In an interview with The Dartmouth, alumni-elected trustee T.J. Rodgers ‘70 explained his reasons for declining to participate in future evaluations of trustees up for “re-election,” namely the “kangaroo court” nature of such discussion in…
