That son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen, once called Sachell, is now 21, a recent graduate of Yale Law School, and just appointed by Richard Holbrooke as his liaison to NGOs in Pakistan. His current name is Ronan.
Politico journalist Laura Rozen reports that Ronan is supposed to be a genius type - for example, admitted to Yale Law at 16. An activist like his mother Ronan deferred that education to help Holbrooke out with this and that and be the UNICEF spokesperson for youth.
This seems a hybrid case of unusual intelligence, the right activist background, and the right parents. However, those of us with a chip on our shoulders - and I have a boulder - would think about something former mayor of Providence, Rhode Island Buddy Cianci had to say. He said there were two types of people: Members of the Lucky Sperm Club and those like himself who were not members. In the case of Ronan, we would have to ask Cianci if being a member of the Lucky Sperm Club just referred to the family contacts or also what was in the sperm - e.g. double dose of high intelligence?
