It seems that the 1964 LL.B. mentioned in the list refers to his degree from Yale Law School.Harry Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088418333536732728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116442395849122822.post-73456692740972075302013-03-05T08:40:22.728-08:002013-03-05T08:40:22.728-08:00Harvard has plenty of awards and honors for entert...Harvard has plenty of awards and honors for entertainers such as the Hasty Pudding Man/Woman of the Year and the Class Day speaker. I think that it demeans the work that all the students have done and the sacrifices that their parents have made to present as a Commencement speaker a daytime talk show host. The late talk show host Merv Griffin created Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, two shows which boosted his net worth to over $1 billion. If he had been asked to speak at Commencement, there would have been a palace revolt at Mass. Hall.

I don't believe Bob Rubin got an LL.B. 1964<br /><br />Sam SpektorAllendehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897085739392739703noreply@blogger.com
