From a Dartmouth Friends of Football email that just hit "in boxes" ...
Most of you are probably aware that Henry M. (Hank) Paulson the current CEO of Goldman Sacks has be nominated by President Bush to be the next Treasury Secretary, BUT did you know that he
· was a three-year letterman in Football at Dartmouth,
· started as a sophomore on the 1965 undefeated Ivy-League Champions,
· played on two Ivy-League Championship teams,
· was named All-Ivy, All-New England and All-East in his senior year and received the New England Coaches award as the Offensive Lineman of the Year,
· established the Robert L. Blackman Endowed Coaching Position in 2000,
· was Dartmouth's honoree at the 2003 Ivy Football Association Dinner for his lifetime of accomplishments beyond the playing field?
Paulson's Dartmouth classmate Robert Reich (the former Clinton secretary of labor) proves politics is thicker than Green blood with
this commentary on the nomination. His intro:
The last time I saw Hank Paulson was at our college graduation, almost exactly 38 years ago. He had been a tackle on the football team and was heading to business school and then into the Nixon administration. I was resolutely not a football player, and I had just returned from keeping Clean for Gene. (For those of you too young to understand this reference, I was campaigning on behalf of Eugene McCarthy, the anti-Vietnam War candidate.)
