Of Zombies and Banks, A Tale of Two Colleges

Pitzer's commencement speaker is Pitzer alumnus Max Brooks, author of World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War" and The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Living Dead


Our comment speaker is James Wolfensohn, author of  A Global Life: My Journal Among Rich and Poor, from Sydney to Wall Street to the World Bank


Ask yourself, dear reader. Who would rather spend time listening to?


Memo to Pam Gann: Can we switch commencement speakers with Pitzer? Please?!

Their speaker teaches us how to fight off zombies; our speaker threatens to turn us into them. 

Watch Brooks talk about zombies.



Note: Expect a review of both books in the future as I am the only human being alive who has read both speakers' books.
