The 50th anniversary of the Watergate break-in is, I suppose, a good time to mention the day I spent with John Dean. As president of the college’s so-called Economics Society, I sponsored Dean for a campus lecture.
A previous guest speaker had been Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith, but what did John Dean have to do with Economics? Nothing directly, but the faculty advisor, Dr. Darrow, was hot to talk with Dean.
It was a very interesting day, and a very long day. I have a newspaper clipping somewhere about Dean’s talk that includes a photo of him that I arranged to have taken. If I find it I’ll post a scan and have a bit more to say.
