Recognize the guy on the cover looking over his shoulder? It’s one of the many photographs of pioneering satirist Lenny Bruce that Brandeis recently acquired, along with his personal papers. Alexander Wohl ’83 pens a fascinating profile of the standup icon and his influence on generations of comics, including many of today’s top performers.

A feature about last fall’s 12-day student occupation of the Bernstein-Marcus administration building explores some of the issues that have roiled college campuses across the country as they grapple with student demands for more diversity and inclusion. In a companion essay, Princeton historian Julian Zelizer ’91 reflects on his four years of campus activism and how it shaped his intellectual life.

If you’re among the growing numbers of people concerned about being a target of hackers, you’ll want to read the profile of information-age beat cop Marc Goodman ’87. He believes we are totally unprepared for our hackable future. Luckily, he offers steps on how to prevent digital disaster in an era where the bad guys always seem to be one cyber step ahead.
