Health Reform Paths Not Taken

No issues in the ongoing Congressional health-care debate have generated more heat than the so-called public option and proposed taxes on “gold-plated” health insurance plans. Conservatives view a new government-run health insurance option as creeping socialism. Unions fear that taxes on generous health plans would penalize their members for hard-won concessions from employers.

The Case for Regulatory Reform

This is week when the Wall Street chickens come home to roost. In the wake of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, the Obama administration has sent Congress a package of regulatory reforms aimed, in large part, at putting an end to what HBS professor David Moss calls “implicit guarantees” that compel the government to bail out large financial institutions.

I Network, You Network, He, She, It Networks…

Do future MBAs emerge from the womb with business card in hand? Greet their preschool pals with a firm, not fishy, handshake? HBS alumni so frequently mention the lifelong benefits of connections made at Soldiers Field that I’ve always assumed their networking skills were honed sometime before the second grade.

What’s It Worth to You?

How much is a CEO worth? What is appropriate compensation for the leader of a large and complex organization? One frequent reply has been “Let the market decide.”

WHBS, 820 on Your Dial

Almost fifty years before HBS developed a broadcast presence with its own Web site in 1996, the School had a rather limited one: the radio station WHBS, which was in operation from 1948 to 1964 or 1965. It was limited because the broadcasting was done via HBS’s power lines, only to campus buildings. Since it was not, technically, “on the air,” the station was unlicensed and not subject to FCC regulation.

No More Squawking about the Campus Turkey

This just in. Turk Turkee is history. No more appearances on YouTube. No more plugs on CNBC. No more ink from BusinessWeek or the Boston Globe. No more Facebook site called "HBS Students for the Removal of the Turkey."

Been There, Seen That

It’s been a grim couple of weeks out there. Personally, I’ve had more déjà vu than I’ve seen in a long time, as Yogi Berra might have said, especially after losing a string of tough doubleheaders.

My own sobering twin bill has consisted of revisiting, in recent days, graphic foreshadowing of (1) the energy crisis, and (2) the economic meltdown.

HBS Olympians

While watching the spectacular and only slightly enhanced (digitally and chemically) Olympics, I found myself wondering how many HBS Olympians there have been over the years. I could think of only one—Paul Wylie (MBA 2000C), who won a silver medal in figure skating in the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France—but I was sure there were more.

Thanks for the Memories

If you haven’t already taken a look at the HBS Institutional Memory Web site, don’t miss it. Since it was launched in February in conjunction with the School’s centennial celebration, the site has steadily added to its treasure trove of information and reminiscences, and it continues to do so.

Stylin’ at Gallatin

A note to the 73 incoming MBAs moving into newly renovated Gallatin Hall: You are some lucky ducks. I tagged along on a tour of Gallatin led by principal architect Steve Erwin and project architect Patricia DeLauri, both of Shepley Bulfinch Richardson & Abbott, a Boston-based firm with a long history with Harvard University and the B-School.
