THE PACIFIC CENTURY INSTITUTE, the think-works and do-good works of the immensely public-spirited Spencer Kim of a Thousand Oaks, Ca., is holding its annual award dinner 23 February at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Century City. Indeed, every late Feb. it stages a gala dinner and holds some VIP up for proper acclaim, and this year they have produced yet another worthy honoree: James B. Steinberg, who until July of last year was Deputy Secretary of State in the Obama administration, former national security advisor under President Bill Clinton, current Dean of the superb Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University in New York and (as everyone who knows him knows) an outstanding gentleman. PCI always organizes a festive but intellectually stimulating meeting, so you should go with a loved one or friend: Details on the dinner and tickets (table or individual) are available via Jackie.Lee@cbol.com.
