Robert Gallucci, MA’68, PhD’74, a former U.S. ambassador, was named interim director of the Library of Congress’ John W. Kluge Center. He served as president of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation from 2009-14 and earlier was dean of Georgetown’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. Allan Gottlieb, MA’68, PhD’73, a professor at New York University for 35 years and a pioneer in the field of parallel computing, was featured in a recent issue of MIT News magazine. For the past half century, he has been editing the magazine’s Puzzle Corner column. When he started the column as an MIT undergraduate, he wrote all the problems and most of the solutions himself in his dorm room. Now he acts mainly as an editor, choosing puzzles and solutions from the community that has grown up around the project.
