TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
My name is Jomo Tekena Ekpebu and I'd like to bring your attention to
a slight error on your otherwise excellent site. My father, Dr. Lawrence B.
Ekpebu earned a Bachelors degree in Political Science in 1960; and a PhD,
also in Political Science, in 1965. On your site is a list of the Class
of 1960 and and on it was denoted some of these alumni who have passed
away. I was surprised to see your list noting that my father is deceased. On the
contrary; Dr. Ekpebu retired as a Senior Lecturer of Political Science and Public
Policy at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria in 1999 after a distinguished
25-year career at the university. He is very much alive and well! and attacking life at 66 with
the same vigour that he did while a student at Harvard. Please correct the error, when
you are able to. I thank you very much for addressing the issue.
Sincerely Yours,
Jomo Tekena Ekpebu

I have a new book on
Meanings of War
and PeaceIt's about the way that language helps reflect and construct
meanings of international violence. As Yogi Berra might have said, "when you talk
about war and peace, you should watch your language." It seems to me that
it's quite relevant to the current "war on terrorism" and how we try to
make sense of it.

After 21 years abroad (18 of them in Rome), my wife and I returned to
the US this year. In fact, we're back in Cambridge, only steps away from
the Harvard Yard. Having stepped down as Director General of the
International Development Law Institute, an international organization I
co-founded in 1982, I am now Executive Director of Conflict Mangement
Group, a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded by Harvard Law School Professor
Roger Fisher. We are trying to pitch CMG's peace building tools to a
higher level (e.g. at UN Agencies, OSCE, the World Bank and national
development organizations) in order to achieve a wider audience and
greater impact.
In the process I have discovered to my sadness that it is easier to
raise money for lawyers in development than for peace building and
conflict resolution. After the September 11 tragedy, it is more important than
ever that we spread conflict management skills across the globe. If
classmates can help me find interested contributors to our work, I would
be most grateful.

Re. John O. Fox: In his new book, If Americans Really Understood the
Income Tax (Westview Press), Washington, D.C., tax attorney John O. Fox
explains how the tax functions and offers reforms that would "reflect far
better the shared principles of both conservatives and liberals." He
developed the book--written for regular folks, not just other tax
attorneys--in conjunction with a course that he teaches at Mount Holyoke,
"Taxation and the Values of Democracy." Although he is the recipient of
enthusiastic support from his wife, Gretchen, he notes that this "should
not be miscontrued to mean that she favors my writing another book."
