...probably the best-paid food-services director in the country: her $95,000 salary plus generous benefits is covered by Waters' Chez Panisse Foundation, which sees Berkeley as the launchpad for a nationwide revolution. Cooper's district is also unusual in allowing her to rack up a $250,000-a-year loss. Still, she believes Berkeley's model is exportable, primarily because raw ingredients can be cheaper than processed food; the trick is to teach cafeteria cooks around the nation how to buy, store and prepare them. Meanwhile, she says, she's got more local problems to solve--like what...
...joke. Some students do legitimately need professional help to maintain mental wellness. But in the cases of most Harvard students, a moderate level of depression is not surprising. Harvard students are determined, and they have an investment in success—apart from the $40,000-a-year one. The byproduct of their ambition is an unavoidable lump of negative externalities—downsizing of relationships, severe aspirations, spending a great deal of time studying in the dark corners of Widener, and stress in general. Ultimately, these unfortunate aspects can be, and usually are, outweighed by benefits. The heights...
...Even in tonier Costa Rica, $1,500 buys monthly comforts (including $150 for a full-time housekeeper).

Open-heart surgery can be had for just $45,000, says Ryan Piercy, general manager of the Association of Residents of Costa Rica...
There?s no quicker way to get a smirk in Washington than to leave a $161,000-a-year White House job, without having something new, and say you're doing it to spend more time with your family. That's what Claude A. Allen, President Bush?s domestic policy adviser, told his bosses before he resigned in February. And that's what the White House told the press when his departure was announced three days after Bush had released his new budget and Allen, one of the administration?s most senior African Americans, had told reporters, "The safety...
...institutional tides push powerfully in the other direction, and the credential value of the degree is so high that there's no penalty to Harvard for placing the needs of its faculty over the best interests of its students. McKinsey and Goldman Sachs will come calling with $90,000-a-year job offers regardless of what's in the curriculum. Harvard's next president will face the same pressures and have a difficult time standing up to them...
