So American Prospect is not Time or a very well-known publication, but it is fairly well-known in political circles. It has endorsed Alan Khazei for Senate in Massachusetts. The laudatory article pitches Khazei as a social entrepreneur. And, if there is such a field, he's actually done quite well.
He started City Year, which now operates in 16 cities in the U.S. and also in Johannesburg; it has a budget of $46,000,000 and employs 1,000. City Year, the article claims, was the inspiration for AmeriCorps, which Khazei has also helped surmount budget challenges.
I was quite impressed that Bloomberg ran a fundraiser for him.
Who knows? Stranger things have happened.
