1952

From my not too recent newspaper savings about fellow '52s—USA Today mentioned that Buck Henry was guest host on Fox Broadcasting's The Late Show on a Friday night late last May following permanent host Joan Rivers's hasty departure from the program. And Harry Goldsmith made it again to the editorial page of the BostonGlobe. In his article. Dr. Harry, a clinical surgeon and professor of surgery at Boston University School of Medicine, responded to demonstrations at his medical school by animal rights activists concerning use of animals in medical experiments. Citing the outstanding success by biomedical researchers in developing valuable information and technology from such experimentation about polio and cardiac surgery in the past and the urgent contemporary need to continue investigation of AIDS through animal experimentation, Harry makes the case that the continuing quest for medical knowledge must include animal experimentation.

As the chairman and CEO of newly organized John Blair Communications, Inc., Jim Rosenfield headed an investment group which acquired Blair Television, a TV station representative firm and Blair Entertainment, a TV production and distribution company. In the acquisition news release, Jim described John Blair as among the most prestigious names in the broadcasting industry. Blair Television, started in 1948, has become a sales organization leader in TV station representation while its predecessor, Blair Entertainment, has grown since its organization in 1936 to become a major factor in the TV production and distribution business. No stranger to the industry, Jim was senior vice president of CBS from 1983 to 1985 with wide responsibilities in all areas of CBS's broadcast business activities as well as the development of new and emerging businesses. His responsibilities after joining CBS in 1965 included sales and sales administration at various levels up to vice president, national sales manager. Prior to becoming senior vice president of CBS, he served as executive vice president of CBS Broadcast Group responsible for CBS Television Network, the CBS Entertainment and Sports Division. His career in broadcasting began as a radio announcer while at Dartmouth where his studies were interrupted by a three-year interlude with the Army Signal Corps. Following his second career at Dartmouth, during which his wife Nancy opened the Women's Shop at Campion's, Jim entered an executive training program at NBC. Except for a few years in advertising and marketing following NBC, Jim has remained in the broadcasting field. He and Nancy raised two children, Laurie and Jim Jr. The new Women's Shop in the early fifties must have been a sign of things to come, for daughter Laurie graduated from Dartmouth in 1979.
