The new majority owner of the Boston Celtics is former Dartmouth soccer player Bill Chisholm ‘91, the managing partner of Symphony Technology Group, a private equity firm. The sale price: a cool $6.1 billion, a North American sports record. Chisholm, his wife and two children all graduated from Dartmouth.

Green Alert Take: Chisholm, who tallied one goal for the Big Green soccer team as a senior, arrived at Dartmouth just as I was finishing up my time working in the sports information office. It’s fair to say our careers have gone in different directions since then. ;-)

Extra Point
I’ve found a very good use for AI.
Earlier this week I received an email notification that a book I had on hold from the Vermont state library was finally available for download on my Kindle. The problem: I’m currently in the middle of a novel and I know if I put it aside for a bit the cast of characters and plot twists will have me scrambling to remember what was happening in the book when I put it down, and I might actually feel the need to start it over.
Then a light bulb came on. I pulled up ChatGPT and gave it clear instructions. I said I would be taking a break from the novel after 16 chapters, and could it please provide a synopsis of the characters and plot to that point, such that when I resumed reading the book I could hit the ground running. I was clear that it should avoid providing me with any spoilers.
I now have in my notes app a 500-word summary of the first 17 chapters of the novel that sums it up almost disturbingly well. I’m several chapters into the new book and am perfectly confident that AI has given me what I need to pick up right where I left off when I return to the previous book.
