Steve Forbes ’70
Over 150 members and guests welcomed Steve Forbes
’70 to the Clubhouse as he discussed his new book,
Money: How the Destruction of the Dollar Threatens the
Global Economy and What We Can Do About It. Forbes
argued that since world governments took their
currencies off the gold standard, money has gotten
weaker and weaker and our wealth has been eroded.
Money is a provocative call of alarm about how this global devaluation of our
currencies could lead to a fiscal catastrophe as bad as the Great Depression or
worse.
NAFTA – 20 Years Later
with Dr. Jorge Castañeda ’73
Dr. Jorge Castañeda ’73 – with a particular emphasis
on the United States and Mexico – described what
has worked and what has not worked with the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and what
needs to be done going forward. This event was
cosponsored by Princeton in Latin America (PILA),
The Northeast Regional Chapter of the United States-Mexico Chamber of
Commerce and the Association of Latino Princeton Alumni (ALPA).
Picasso in the Theater
Cultural historian and Princeton Club member Charles A. Riley II, PhD ‘79,
author of The Jazz Age in France and the official book on the art collection of
Lincoln Center, captivated members and guests with the backstage secrets of
Picasso as well as Leger, Chagall, and contemporary artists.
When Paris Went Dark
Members and guests were enthralled by Amherst College professor Ronald
C. Rosbottom’s (Princeton *64, Ph.D.69) lecture on how, beneath the bustle
of a newly configured daily urban life, resistance and accommodation took
a myriad of forms during wartime in Paris under military and civilian
occupation. Rosbottom wove a rich tapestry of stories that described this
era from the pavement up, bringing the audience from
the first days of the Occupation through to the last,
evoking the detail of daily life in Paris from
1940-1944.

PRINCETONIANS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
On the Town New York offers the best of everything, so take it all in from the Bronx to 	
the Battery with fellow members at tours, live performances, and more!
The image of the peacock was
as popular as the luxury it stood
for from the Gilded Age to
the 1920’s Art Nouveau and
Art Deco Movements. Sadly,
Modernism’s ethos of “less is
more” caused the bird a brief
decline. As the contemporary
art world re-embraces beauty
in a new “Gilded Age”, the
peacock today is strutting its
way back into the art world. 
The group will dine at Xaviars
X20 on the Hudson after the
tour. Transportation provided
for departure from the
Princeton Club at 10:30AM.

10:30AM
COST: $100 (Includes tour,
lunch, and private mini

HOST: DONNA GROSS
Reservations become final sale on
Thursday, October 30.
This exhibition explores our
fascination with this most
glamorous of birds, a symbol
of vainglory and the darling
of designers and painters.
Strutting in its sapphire-blue
and emerald-green feathers, the
peacock symbolized all things
vain and beautiful in centuries
of painting, sculpture, in books
and in myth, and on the clothes
that swirl and shine like the
iridescent bird itself. Intrigued by
the exotic art of Asia that prized
and portrayed the peacock,
Western artists and craftsmen
chose the peacock as a multi-
faceted motif for designs on
canvas and for objets d’art in
the home.

Harding, the club’s engaging
and well-spoken curator of
collections. Following the tour,

NYC COUNCILMAN BEN KALLOS ON THE MARINE
TRANSFER STATION
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM
LECTURE: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS
HOST: ARLYNE KRUM
The City of New York plans to construct a marine transfer station on
the Manhattan side of the East River with an entrance and exit at 91st
Street and York Avenue. A similar facility was on that site until 1990,
when it was closed.
In the twenty years since its closing, the neighborhood has become
increasingly high-rise and residential. The area immediately adjacent to
the site is used by many of the neighborhood public and private schools,
as well as the neighborhood children.
Ben Kallos, the city councilman, for the 5th District in Manhattan will
speak about this marine transfer station and why he opposes it. He will
also offer interesting alternatives to the site.
Kallos works on many other issues such as healthy meals for kids
in schools, summer science programs for students, technology and
transparency laws, food drives. Come listen and learn about these
issues which affect today’s New Yorkers.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM
LECTURE: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUEST
HOST: JOHN F. ANDREWS
Long before he distinguished himself as President of Harvard (1991-

writing about English Renaissance literature. Dr. Rudenstine recently
completed a new book, Ideas of Order: A Close Reading of Shakespeare’s
Sonnets, on the extraordinary lyrics that Wordsworth described as the
“key” to Shakespeare’s “heart.” Come hear his discussion with John F.
Andrews ’65 regarding the sonnets’ most significant themes.
Dr. Rudenstine (a Rhodes Scholar who earned his A.B. as a member of
Princeton’s class of 1956) served on the faculties of both Harvard (1964-
68) and Princeton (1968-77), and his career at Old Nassau culminated
with a decade as Provost (1977-88). Copies of Ideas of Order: A Close
Reading of Shakespeare’s Sonnets will be on hand for purchase and
available for signing after the talk.
CAN BUDGET AND TRADE DEFICITS SINK THE U.S.
ECONOMY? AN EVENING WITH PETER ORSZAG ’91
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM
INTERVIEW: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS
HOST: CHRISTINE LOOMIS
Do the growing budget and trade deficits pose a serious risk to
the U.S. economy? How and why will they be reduced? Is there a
high probability of super inflation in the future? Is China’s control of
over $1 trillion in U.S. debt a cause for worry? Former U.S. Budget
Director, Peter Orszag ’91, will chat about these and other issues in a
conversation with Nelson Schwartz of The New York Times. 
Club member Peter R. Orszag, vice chairman of corporate and
investment banking and chairman of the financial strategy and
solutions group at Citigroup, was previously President Barack
Obama’s director of the Office of Management and Budget. Orszag
was the director of the Congressional Budget Office from 2007 to
2008. In the Clinton administration, he served as a senior economist
at the Council of Economic Advisers from 1995 to 1996 and, in 1997,
as top adviser to the director of the National Economic Council.
Orszag holds a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics and an
economics degree from Princeton University. He is an adjunct senior
fellow at the Council on Foreign Relation and a Bloomberg columnist.
Nelson D. Schwartz has covered the economy for The New York
Times since August 2012. He was the 2014 recipient of the Nathaniel
Nash Award, given annually by the Times to honor “a correspondent,
reporter or columnist who excels in business or economic news,
nationally or abroad.”
Nelson’s recent articles have included regular coverage of the latest
data on unemployment and economic growth. He joined the Times as
a Sunday Business feature writer in June 2007. From 1997 to 2007, Mr.
Schwartz was a senior writer for Fortune, where he reported from

THE MUSICAL BRAIN: AN EVENING WITH DR. RANDY
M. ROSENBERG
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM
LECTURE: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS
Music is as much a fundamental aspect of human behavior as language.
Melody and rhythm are hardwired into our brains and are an integral
part of our lives even before we are born.
The attraction of music, whether as an audience member or a
performer, defies culture, age and ethnocentricity. There are 60 million
amateur musicians in the U.S. alone. If you consider the complexity
of the musical brain, then it is not difficult to imagine that there are
instances where the circuitry fails. Such neurological disruption can result
in profoundly disabling syndromes that deprive either the listener or
artist of the beauty of music.
Dr. Rosenberg will discuss some of these unusual conditions from the
standpoint of a neurologist with 36 years of clinical experience and a
musician who has performed for over 50 years. You’ll leave this lecture
with a better understanding of the musical brain.
PASTA: THE LONG & SHORT OF IT! TALK & TASTING
WITH FRANCINE SEGAN
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21
REGISTRATION: 6:00PM
TALK & TASTING: 6:30PM
COST: $35 FOR MEMBERS; $40 FOR GUESTS
Pasta—possibly Italy’s most beloved culinary contribution—comes in
hundreds of shapes and is served in thousands of ways. Join Francine
Segan, author of Pasta Modern, for an amusing talk on its tantalizing
history, interesting regional dishes, what’s cutting edge in Italy today, and
perfect wine pairings for pasta. 
Taste several of these modern twists on historic pasta dishes (including
dessert pasta) and we’ll even have time for a trivia contest (with prizes!)
about modern & antique pasta making equipment. You’ll walk away with a
better understanding of why pasta has stood the test of time, tips on how
to pick the best dried pasta, and a short list of recipes to help channel
your inner Italian at home. 
MASTERPIECES FROM THE PRE-COLUMBIAN WORLD
TUESDAY, JANUARY 27
WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM
LECTURE: 6:30PM
COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS
Masterpieces from the Pre-Columbian World will illustrate ancient works
of art from Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America using
finely crafted, visually outstanding objects from private and museum
collections. The talk will touch upon the meaning of these masterpieces
for the societies that made them, such as the Aztec, Taíno, Maya and Inca.
Dicey Taylor received her Ph.D. in Art History from Yale University
(1983) and has worked for many years as a curator of both museum
and private collections of Native American, Pre-Columbian, African,
Oceanic and European art. She is currently employed by a private family
company with large holdings of non-Western art and also works as a
curatorial consultant for a private collection of European Modern and
Contemporary painting and sculpture.

Have you ever been handed a restaurant wine list
and asked to make a selection for the table? We will
discuss strategies for reducing angst while increasing
wine savvy in this potentially nerve-wracking
experience. We will explore advice from New York’s
leading sommelier, discuss hot spots for wine, when
you should BYOB, as well as getting the basics of wine
tasting by sipping five wines. This event is focused
on young alums and will offer not only a fun and
informational wine tasting but also the chance to meet
fellow young graduates. 
Dr. Tyler Colman teaches wine classes in the food
and wine program at New York University with the
James Beard Foundation as well as at the University
of Chicago. His wine writing appears on his award-

Can’t Make an Event You
Reserved For?
Here’s How It Works:
Free Events: Our plans change all the
time in this city, but when you reserve for
an event, we hold a seat for you. Please
call, email, or go online to cancel your
reservation by noon on the day of the event
so another member may use your place and
you can avoid a $10 no-show fee and guest
charges.
Paid Events: Occasionally events are final
sale or have a final sale date, so please check
the full event description prior to making
your reservation. Can’t figure it out? Just
give the Program Office a call, and we will
be happy to assist you. If an event has no
final sale date listed, please cancel two
business days prior to the event to avoid
being charged.
To make or cancel reservations:

  • 2. PAGE 00 NEWSLETTER OF PRINCETON CLUB OF NEW YORK www.princetonclub.com Steve Forbes ’70 Over 150 members and guests welcomed Steve Forbes ’70 to the Clubhouse as he discussed his new book, Money: How the Destruction of the Dollar Threatens the Global Economy and What We Can Do About It. Forbes argued that since world governments took their currencies off the gold standard, money has gotten weaker and weaker and our wealth has been eroded. Money is a provocative call of alarm about how this global devaluation of our currencies could lead to a fiscal catastrophe as bad as the Great Depression or worse. NAFTA – 20 Years Later with Dr. Jorge Castañeda ’73 Dr. Jorge Castañeda ’73 – with a particular emphasis on the United States and Mexico – described what has worked and what has not worked with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and what needs to be done going forward. This event was cosponsored by Princeton in Latin America (PILA), The Northeast Regional Chapter of the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce and the Association of Latino Princeton Alumni (ALPA). Picasso in the Theater Cultural historian and Princeton Club member Charles A. Riley II, PhD ‘79, author of The Jazz Age in France and the official book on the art collection of Lincoln Center, captivated members and guests with the backstage secrets of Picasso as well as Leger, Chagall, and contemporary artists. When Paris Went Dark Members and guests were enthralled by Amherst College professor Ronald C. Rosbottom’s (Princeton *64, Ph.D.69) lecture on how, beneath the bustle of a newly configured daily urban life, resistance and accommodation took a myriad of forms during wartime in Paris under military and civilian occupation. Rosbottom wove a rich tapestry of stories that described this era from the pavement up, bringing the audience from the first days of the Occupation through to the last, evoking the detail of daily life in Paris from 1940-1944.  PAGE 2 PRINCETONIANS IN THE SPOTLIGHT On the Town New York offers the best of everything, so take it all in from the Bronx to the Battery with fellow members at tours, live performances, and more! The image of the peacock was as popular as the luxury it stood for from the Gilded Age to the 1920’s Art Nouveau and Art Deco Movements. Sadly, Modernism’s ethos of “less is more” caused the bird a brief decline. As the contemporary art world re-embraces beauty in a new “Gilded Age”, the peacock today is strutting its way back into the art world.  The group will dine at Xaviars X20 on the Hudson after the tour. Transportation provided for departure from the Princeton Club at 10:30AM. City Hall Tour and Luncheon WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 10:15AM COST: FREE (lunch will be à la carte) HOST: ROBERT SNYDER Take a guided tour of City Hall. Constructed from 1803 to 1812, New York’s City Hall is one of the oldest continuously used City Halls in the nation that still houses its original governmental functions. It is considered one of the finest architectural achievements of its period. The group will meet at 10:15am on Wednesday, November 12 at the entrance to City Hall, located at the north end of City Hall Park off Broadway at Murray Street. The tour lasts one hour starting at 10:30AM, free of charge. Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 6:30PM COST: $30 Reservations become final sale on Friday, November 28. “Killer Heels” explores fashion’s most provocative accessory. From the high platform chopines of sixteenth-century Italy to the glamorous stilettos on today’s runways and red carpets, the exhibition looks at the high- heeled shoe’s rich and varied history and its enduring place in our popular imagination. The Brooklyn Museum is located at 200 Eastern Parkway and is easily accessible by the 2/3 train. After the docent-led tour, visit Saul Restaurant at the Brooklyn Museum which is proud to serve fine dining next to wonderful art. Following the tour, the group will walk a short distance to Chinatown to have lunch at restaurant Buddha Bodai located at 5 Mott Street which serves an inexpensive kosher, vegetarian Chinese cuisine. The event has been coordinated by Robert Snyder, a member of the Day Committee. Tickets to Musical, “The Underclassman” SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 3:00PM COST: $35 HOST: SUZANNA SANCHEZ Reservations become final sale on Friday, November 14.

It’s produced by Prospect Theater Company which was founded and is run by Princeton alumni. Tickets will be available for pickup at the front desk after Friday, November 14. The Duke Theater is located on 229 West 42nd Street between 7th and 8th Ave. Tour of Strut: The Peacock and Beauty in Art at the Hudson River Museum THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 12:00PM BUS LEAVES FROM PCNY: 10:30AM COST: $100 (Includes tour, lunch, and private mini coach bus) HOST: DONNA GROSS Reservations become final sale on Thursday, October 30. This exhibition explores our fascination with this most glamorous of birds, a symbol of vainglory and the darling of designers and painters. Strutting in its sapphire-blue and emerald-green feathers, the peacock symbolized all things vain and beautiful in centuries of painting, sculpture, in books and in myth, and on the clothes that swirl and shine like the iridescent bird itself. Intrigued by the exotic art of Asia that prized and portrayed the peacock, Western artists and craftsmen chose the peacock as a multi- faceted motif for designs on canvas and for objets d’art in the home. Century Club Tour and Luncheon TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 11:00AM COST: $100 HOST: JOHN MOORE Reservations become final sale on Tuesday, December 2. Ever felt curious about the old unmarked building at 7 West 43rd Street? Since 1901, the building has been the home of The Century Association, a club for men founded in 1847. Among its first members were William Cullen Bryant of the New York Evening Post, and Asher Durand, the noted painter of American landscape from the Hudson River School. Women now are also counted among its 1600 resident members and its 900 non- resident members. The building was designed by the firm of McKim, Mead, and White, the same architects of The Harvard Club and The University Club. The tour will be led by Jonathan Harding, the club’s engaging and well-spoken curator of collections. Following the tour, lunch will be served in the private dining room.

A similar facility was on that site until 1990, when it was closed. In the twenty years since its closing, the neighborhood has become increasingly high-rise and residential. The area immediately adjacent to the site is used by many of the neighborhood public and private schools, as well as the neighborhood children. Ben Kallos, the city councilman, for the 5th District in Manhattan will speak about this marine transfer station and why he opposes it. He will also offer interesting alternatives to the site. Kallos works on many other issues such as healthy meals for kids in schools, summer science programs for students, technology and transparency laws, food drives. Come listen and learn about these issues which affect today’s New Yorkers.

AN EVENING WITH PETER ORSZAG ’91 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11 WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM INTERVIEW: 6:30PM COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS HOST: CHRISTINE LOOMIS Do the growing budget and trade deficits pose a serious risk to the U.S. economy? How and why will they be reduced? Is there a high probability of super inflation in the future? Is China’s control of over $1 trillion in U.S. debt a cause for worry? Former U.S. Budget Director, Peter Orszag ’91, will chat about these and other issues in a conversation with Nelson Schwartz of The New York Times.  Club member Peter R. Orszag, vice chairman of corporate and investment banking and chairman of the financial strategy and solutions group at Citigroup, was previously President Barack Obama’s director of the Office of Management and Budget. Orszag was the director of the Congressional Budget Office from 2007 to 2008.

SOVERN, PRESIDENT EMERITUS OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY & AUTHOR OF AN IMPROBABLE LIFE: MY SIXTY YEARS AT COLUMBIA AND OTHER ADVENTURES AS PART OF THE MILLENNIUM LECTURE SERIES TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9 LECTURE: 6:30PM COST: FREE HOST: PRINCETON LIBRARY IN NEW YORK Join us as Mr. Sovern speaks about An Improbable Life: My Sixty Years at Columbia and Other Adventures which recounts Columbia’s recovery from riot to renaissance and addresses key issues in academia, such as affordability, affirmative action, lifetime tenure and the favored treatment of research over teaching.

ROSENBERG WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14 WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM LECTURE: 6:30PM COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS Music is as much a fundamental aspect of human behavior as language. Melody and rhythm are hardwired into our brains and are an integral part of our lives even before we are born. The attraction of music, whether as an audience member or a performer, defies culture, age and ethnocentricity. There are 60 million amateur musicians in the U.S. alone. If you consider the complexity of the musical brain, then it is not difficult to imagine that there are instances where the circuitry fails. Such neurological disruption can result in profoundly disabling syndromes that deprive either the listener or artist of the beauty of music. Dr. Rosenberg will discuss some of these unusual conditions from the standpoint of a neurologist with 36 years of clinical experience and a musician who has performed for over 50 years. You’ll leave this lecture with a better understanding of the musical brain. PASTA: THE LONG & SHORT OF IT! TALK & TASTING WITH FRANCINE SEGAN WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21 REGISTRATION: 6:00PM TALK & TASTING: 6:30PM COST: $35 FOR MEMBERS; $40 FOR GUESTS Pasta—possibly Italy’s most beloved culinary contribution—comes in hundreds of shapes and is served in thousands of ways. Join Francine Segan, author of Pasta Modern, for an amusing talk on its tantalizing history, interesting regional dishes, what’s cutting edge in Italy today, and perfect wine pairings for pasta.  Taste several of these modern twists on historic pasta dishes (including dessert pasta) and we’ll even have time for a trivia contest (with prizes!) about modern & antique pasta making equipment. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of why pasta has stood the test of time, tips on how to pick the best dried pasta, and a short list of recipes to help channel your inner Italian at home.  MASTERPIECES FROM THE PRE-COLUMBIAN WORLD TUESDAY, JANUARY 27 WINE RECEPTION: 6:00PM LECTURE: 6:30PM COST: FREE FOR MEMBERS; $25 FOR GUESTS Masterpieces from the Pre-Columbian World will illustrate ancient works of art from Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America using finely crafted, visually outstanding objects from private and museum collections. The talk will touch upon the meaning of these masterpieces for the societies that made them, such as the Aztec, Taíno, Maya and Inca. Dicey Taylor received her Ph.D. in Art History from Yale University (1983) and has worked for many years as a curator of both museum and private collections of Native American, Pre-Columbian, African, Oceanic and European art. She is currently employed by a private family company with large holdings of non-Western art and also works as a curatorial consultant for a private collection of European Modern and Contemporary painting and sculpture. 2012 2012 2013
