Blind man to be diplomat in global service
Avraham Rabby, a 47 year old blind graduate of Oxford with an MBA, was granted a Foreign Service appointment after a decade long effort. State Department officials cited technological advances such as optical text scanners enabling blind applicants to take exams with accommodations, signaling possible policy relaxation for worldwide availability. Rabby has long sought roles in Japan, the Soviet Union, and England and runs a consulting firm aiding disabled job seekers.
