1968

John Isaacson received a laudatory write-up in the December 1985 Esquire. Having forsaken the woodpaneled law office in favor of civil service after graduation from Harvard Law in 1973, John is now recruiting executives interested in

public service. He has developed a knack for enticing top talent despite the lower pay of public sector jobs. He has recently founded his own search firm, Isaacson, Ford, Webb, and Miller in Boston.

Esquire magazine also had the good sense to name David Soren, professor of archeology at the University of Arizona, to its annual register of American leaders. Dave discovered a 1,600-year-old city, Kourion, on Cyprus in 1984, leading to an excavation rivaling Pompeii in scope and importance. When he finally uncovered the city, buried by an earthquake in A.D. 365, he noted that "you feel like the rescue mission that's a little late."

Time Inc. has revamped its corporate structure, and Chris Meigher has been named group publisher for Time, Fortune,Money, and Southern Progress Corporation, Time Inc. subsidiary. The circulation, strategy and market research, publishing, and human resource departments for these magazines all report to Chris. Chris lives in Manhattan with his wife, Grace, and two daughters.

Manhattanite Mike Zaleski writes that he has been "doing deals" since graduate school at MIT. He began in real estate and now specializes in leveraged buyouts. He has recently formed a new firm, Zaleski, Sherwood, and Company, and raised an $80-million pool of equity. Mike mentions his previous acquisition and restructuring of Birmingham Steel and Consolidated Stores as success stories in the merger game.

Hank Paulson writes that he's a partner in the Chicago office of Goldman Sachs, responsible for their Midwest investment banking activities. He married Wendy Judge (Wellesley '69), and they have two children, a 12-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter. They are out-of-doors people with interests in birding, canoeing, cycling, and skiing. Hank would like to hear from classmates visiting Chicago and would be happy to show them around the office at the Sears Tower.

Jonathan Hull passed on the good news that Tom Long is busy building a family (Whitney, three, and Brenden, 18 months) while completing a general practice dental residency at Lackland AFB, San Antonio. Tom was recently promoted to lieutenant colonel and is getting his body into shape for a Mexican marathon through the streets of Nuevo Laredo.
