@bnelson you might consider creating this relationship with Altria (the parent entity), directly, as well... it's a judgment call. Position 396487

@kevin Thanks! I'm going to merge this with the larger Alex Von Furstenberg profile now.

Alex Von Furstenberg This alternate link to Alex Von Furstenberg is based on a bad link. The article cited does not say Von Furstenberg is owner of Playa Grande.

@kevin That is in fact exactly what I told him!
I'll be careful with that merge function. I'll only do it when I'm absolutely sure.
Best,
Peter

from a Altria Group, Inc. / Philip Morris memo about a Brookings Institution conference on tobacco:
Finally, I had a lengthy discussion with Brookings Chairman Louis Cabot concerning our overall relationship with Brookings. I thanked him for his efforts in trying to provide a semblance of fairness to the program, but told him that it remained a disaster from our point of view. He was apologetic and appeared eager to try to work with us in any way possible to restore a good working relationship. I mentioned our previous troubles with Brookings regarding support for higher excises, and discussed the need to have some countervailing or moderating influences at Brookings if a good relationship is to prevail. I believe he will try his best to satisfy our concerns, but it remains doubtful that the ideological C predilection of Brookings will lend itself in these areas to a meeting of the minds with PM.

Danny Meyer Danny Meyer is on the Board of the Madison Square Park Conservancy AND runs a for profit business in the park - Shake Shack. According to Next American City Magazine: "In 2009 Shake Shack collected revenues of $4.9 million; $220,256 of that went to the city and $348,389 to the park. Concessions in other parks pay as much as 20 percent of their take to the city, but not Meyer, whose company adds to its profits by catering private parties in the park for $15,000 an hour. When Meyer opened his fast-food stand, he was the director and co-founder of the Madison Square Park Conservancy, the nonprofit that oversees the public park."

Laurie Golub Laurie Golub is on the Board of the Madison Square Park Conservancy, possibly because she works for Africa-Israel USA, a Real Estate firm that owned the Clock Tower building overlooking Madison Square Park. In 2011 Africa Israel has been forced to sell the Clock Tower and other buildings at steep losses. See the Walls Street Journal, July 13, 2011, "Africa Israel Buys High, Sells Low," http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240...

@kevin Also noticed this week that Domhoff mentions LittleSis on p. 35 of the latest edition of "Who Rules America?" Cool stuff.

John Wilton (on Berkeley Endowment mngmt co board) is also Vice Chancellor at UCB of Administration and Finance, meaning he's in charge of 'Operational Excellence', the late cuts program. He was CFO at World Bank for over 2 decades, worked in Bulgaria & Indonesia in 80s & 90s.
Would be interesting to see World Bank's educational / privatization policies in those countries under his tenure, but that data is harder to find.

@richardjbooth if it doesn't find donation matches, then the button doesn't work -- so evidently it didn't find any records for Biddy
