Steve Clemons - Open Up Exchange and Travel With Cuba

On Day One, the next president needs to take stock of how eroded and degraded our foreign policy position is with much of the world. One of the lowest hanging fruit opportunities to improve our foreign policy portfolio is to use people-to-people exchange, cultural exchange, and relaxed travel allowances to open up our relationship with Cuba.

Google CEO and New America Foundation Chairman of the Board Eric Schmidt

Go back to glasses and the smartish nerd look.

Apologies to global readers of The Washington Note, but I have to telegraph to my many New America Foundation colleagues my concern that our new Chairman of the Board Eric Schmidt and our new President and two time Pulitzer prize winner Steve Coll look like they were stamped out of the same human printing press.

It's uncanny how much that they look alike. . .

Coincidence? or on purpose?

The CEO of Google, eh?

Congratulations, Steve, I am sure he will be more than happy to point out the politically acceptable elephants to you.

I suspect they look just like a majority of the rest of the Board too. It's well known that organizations favor a particular "look" and bring on board people preferentially who meet that unspoken requirement. Some would call it bias, but can it be bias when it's not even registering in the minds of the people making the decisions.
