If you read our February issue, you’d have heard of the Global Roundtable on Climate Change, a group of blue chips that has been meeting for the last two years to come up with some sort of statement on what do about our warming world. Last Tuesday, they came out with their joint statement, which […]

I feel like I’ve been here before, been here before… (Watch Jeffrey Sachs on last night’s Charlie Rose.) Give me your toasters, your lava lamps, your otherwise hidden appliances…while you walk out for that McBain fire alarm Peace, Not Apartheid. (Just kidding!) Democracy Soon! Please? Frontiers’ heart:  in the right place “In fact, the only […]

Veritas Forum subjects: infinitude of knowledge, the Almighty, plagiarism Message of a loving God creates schism, property rights issues, “trouble” Surprise! Noam Chomsky is anti-war! Poverty = another reason to worry about Global Warming? …never fear, J-Sachs’ anti-squalor sustainability squad is here!…just don’t ask too many questions.

And, now after endless coquetry, we give you what you’ve been so patiently waiting for: the last installment of Addison Anderson’s exploration of the Lamont-Doherty Observatory. In this final edition: expansion, Land’s End Catalog, Bollinger, Sachs, undergraduate interest, more explosions, Frontiers of Science, Tibetan villagers, a suspicious Pakistani customs official, poignancy, and no, they don’t […]

A few things that Bwog noticed on the Columbia Homepage this morning: – Rich man (Bill Gates) gives another rich man’s (Warren Buffett) money to a third rich man (Jeff Sachs) to, eventually, help poor – Administration puff paper takes note of Bwog idea, interviews faculty bloggers Also, two of our favorite banners from the […]

In which Bwog apprises you of news important and not.  Gore? Over. Clinton? Not a chance. But his highness Jeffrey “I’m a rock star” Sachs? Hell yes! This man doesn’t even need to declare a candidacy to run for president–with fans like these, he could end up Commander in Chief by write-in without so much […]

Not to be outdone, Madonna has hopped on the African-orphan-hugging bandwagon with a $3 million donation to J. Sachs’ Millennium Voices foundation, which will help villages in the malaria-infested African nation of Malawi. The rocker chalks up her newfound generosity to having had kids of her own, as well as the giving spirit of Jewish […]

There are a lot of poor people who need saving, and I can show you the cost-effective way to do it.

Oh, bejesus. Jeff Sachs is on the Colbert Report tonight at 11:30. Update: Excellent analysis in the comments, by the bye.

  Jeff Sachs, with you and me together, why, we could end world poverty by Christmas!   More party photos after the jump.

For all you Bwogomaniacs out there, a recap of our launch party, by the numbers, at least as Bwog remembers them: ONE life-size cut-out of Jeffrey Sachs, Columbia’s sexiest sustainable developer. TWO strains of mono. THREE ungraceful moments of, how shall we say, upchuck? SEVERAL socially awkward moments with that guy from Gawker. HUNDREDS of […]

People coming out of Mona, 11:20 PM: Guy: Was that a life size cutout of Jeffrey Sachs? Girl: Yeah, I think so. Guy: What the fuck?! – Lydia DePillis
