Mitt Romney, Jeremy Lin, and Louis CK among Time 100
Time magazine’s annual Time 100 — which annually pays tribute to 100 people who’ve helped “inspire us, entertain us, challenge us and change our world’’ — is out and it includes a few folks of local interest. Like who? Overnight NBA sensation – and Harvard alum – Jeremy Lin; Newton-bred comic Louis CK; MIT engineer Donald Sadoway; and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, whose brief bio is written by Bain Capital co-founder Bill Bain. “Mitt’s work ethic, analytical mind and devotion to family and country are a cocktail for success,’’ enthuses Bain. “When Mitt was elected governor of Massachusetts in 2003, I knew he would get rid of the waste that had plagued our state. Now as I watch the current presidential race, I know this country will be blessed if Mitt’s next job is President of the United States.’’ Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan writes of Lin: “I don’t care whether you are an Asian-American kid, white, black or Hispanic, Jeremy’s story tells you that if you show grit, discipline and integrity, you too can get an opportunity to overcome the odds.’’
