Fall 1997

Features

The War is Over
Long after the guns in Vietnam fell silent, Americans couldn't stop fighting over the only war their country ever lost. Now, at GW, students too young to remember the acrimony bring cool heads to the study of U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia.
Marc Leepson, BA '67, MA

The Counsel of True Friends
GW's Society of the Emeriti is a haven for some of the University's warmest memories.
Julie Martin Mangis, BA '84

The Ultimate Legacy
Endowed Chairs and professorships are growing in number at GW, helping the school attract and keep stellar educators.
Jared Sher, BA'97
