Who says there are no second acts in American life? Adrian Cronauer, L'89 is working on
his third act. You know him as the antic military disc jockey who inspired the movie, "Good
Morning, Vietnam." But the former broadcaster and attorney is now on a mission of mercy
that's brought his life full circle: He helps families of MIAs and POWs close the book on their
loved ones' lives - in the ultimate expression of semper fi.

Soldier of Misfortune
BY LARRY TEITELBAUM
Twenty years after the biopic "Good Morning, Vietnam"
turned him into a star on the college lecture circuit,
Adrian Cronauer, L'89 spends his days far from the
glitter of Hollywood. In an anonymous building near
the Pentagon, Cronauer works on rescue missions. Not
the kind which end with hometown parades, marching
bands, welcome home banners, or teary reunions. For
him, success means a body lost in time returns to the
earth at Arlington National Cemetery.

Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The news business just needs a transfusion. Fortunately, Alberto Ibarguen, L'74 is on hand to
provide it. Ibarguen, head of the Knight Foundation, is leading the charge into the new digital
future. Hello, cell phones. Goodbye, tabloids.
