Explorer Club Head Profiled
Today the Times runs a profile of Richard Weise, the youngest president of the Explorers Club here in New York (which also has some 30 chapters worldwide). Wiess, a former TV journalist, is trying to remake the venerable institution's image to make it more, well, hip (nevermind my disdain for that term), or at least more appealing to younger folk (given that the average member's age is currently 62). To be a member, however, applicants "must show they have advanced the knowledge of the natural sciences, exploration or conservation." So that leaves out most of us.
