I am continually amazed at the number of articles that the New York Times runs about Stanford.  Is one of their high-ranking editors an alum?

The only two editors that I know for sure have Stanford connections are in photography:

Josh Haner is senior editor of photo technology and recently won a Pulitzer in feature photography.

Tiina Loite is photo editor for the dining section.

Pretty sure there must be more who are either alumni or have family who are alumni. However, I suspect that the competition is even better represented. The explanation may have as much to do with negative feelings toward Harvard by alumni of other Ivy League schools. In my undergraduate years at the southern end of the Ivy League, I saw a lot more positive references to Stanford than to Harvard.
