Uneasy Rhetoric

Steven M. Hilton is taking over the reigns of his grandfather’s charitable foundation, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. Mr. Hilton has been working for the foundation for over 20 years and does not intend to change the way things are done. However, when the Chronicle of Philanthropy asked Mr. Hilton about his goals for the foundation he said:

If I had to say what was one other goal or vision that I have it’s to try to engage the younger Hilton generation so they become more aware of philanthropy and encourage them to give and be involved.

The Chronicle asked about Paris specifically, and Mr. Hilton (her uncle) pointed out that “regardless of how you view the type of attention she gets, she gets attention.”

I’d have to say that Paris has given quite a lot of herself. Dare we ask her to do more?
