Leventis. He applied himself with typical curiosity and intelligence until he mastered every single aspect of bottling operations and acquired a thorough grounding in the economics of the business. He used this knowledge over the years to lead the family owned business, and with vision, passion, and sheer hard work he extended operations to acquire and consolidate bottling plants in eleven countries ranging from Nigeria, Ireland, Greece, and the emerging Eastern European countries.

He further consolidated the business by merging with The Coca-Cola Company in Europe to create The Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company which covered 23 countries, served 400 million people, and offered jobs to many thousands, becoming the second largest Coca-Cola bottling company in the world. Andreas's death was deeply mourned by many people with different interests, in different nations. They remember his openness, warmth, charm, his ready laugh, and, above all, his deep seated belief in quality and integrity, which personified him.

The Harry A. Radliffe II/CBS Endowed Scholarship

When the legendary CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow died nearly 50 years ago, he gave many of his papers, books and personal artifacts to Fletcher, which he and his family believed most closely represented his investigative values and world aspirations. The school created a popular research archive of the material and founded a center in his name. Among the many Fletcher students to study at the Murrow Center and be inspired by Edward R. Murrow's legacy was Harry A. Radliffe II, a 1973 graduate who went on to spend almost his entire career at CBS. He directly followed in Murrow's footsteps as London bureau chief and, for the last 26 years, as a producer at 60 Minutes, the seemingly timeless award-winning CBS show that inherited the mantle of Murrow news style and tradition that carries it on to this day.

Harry himself became a legendary producer inside CBS and 60 Minutes, especially of international stories. Then his career and life came to a premature end in December, 2015. So it is, in honor of, first, Edward R. Murrow and, now Harry A. Radliffe II, so that the students this gift supports-like Edward R. Murrow and Harry A. Radliffe II before them--might similarly contribute to world understanding and to fairness and integrity in public affairs.
