Crimson Connections: Jill E. Abramson ’76 and Amy Wilentz ’76

By Ryan N. Gajarawala, Andrew W. Liang, and Samuel W. Zwickel

Before Jill E. Abramson ’76 sat at the helm of The New York Times and Amy Wilentz ’76 embedded herself within post-Duvalier Haiti, the two’s college misadventures were the subject of a Commencement feature in The Harvard Crimson.
