“Cover Story : Katharine Graham, CEO” Mon. May 10th. 2:30pm Native New Yorker Katharine Meyer Graham (1917-2001) never expected to become the president, publisher, and CEO of the Washington Post, but she thrived in that position—and even helped end a war and a corrupt U.S. presidency by revealing the Pentagon Papers and Watergate to an outraged public. Discover how her devotion to the Post helped Katharine grow from a self-effacing widow into decisive me-dia executive.

From Water to Land to Skyscrap-ers: An Environmental History of New York City”: Mon. May 17th: 2:30 - 3:30pm In the past 400 years, the island of Manhattan has grown by 20 per cent-not the population, but the actual land-mass itself. There is significantly more of Manhattan than when the first Euro-pean colonists arrived in 1624. Today’s iconic skyline was built, in part, on land created from rubble, trash, and even excrement. How and why did this happen?
