Howard Zinn. His directed study was the Pentagon Papers.  He lived in Myles Standish Hall, foreboding the loud music directly above from Communications major Howard Stern, and two doors away from his

eight floor neighbor Bill O'Reilly. Lee Marc Burg then completed his four year B.A. Degree in Political Science

in three (3) years.

Today, he feels his biggest claim to fame was being in House Counsel to Crown Boxing, during which stent he did virtually every facet involved with bringing WBF Champion Francois Botha to Las Vegas from South Africa to face Evander Holyfieild, in the latter's final Title fight Championship.
