Professor Emeritus Guy Benveniste's memoir From Paris to Berkeley was published last year. It covers his narrow escape from France in 1942, his life in Mexico, studies at Harvard, settling in California, service in the Kennedy Administration, the World Bank and UNESCO, and finally his appointment to the School of Education in 1968. Benveniste has also published several books on organizations and planning.
