>From a May 14 New York Magazine article about NYU commencement speaker
Jonathan Haidt, author of *The Anxious Mind* (50+ weeks on the NY Times
best-seller list). The quote is from an anonymous marketing major:

"He said of Haidt, 'All my friends and I had to like physically Google who
the commencement speaker was because we didn’t know.'"
