...entirely to blame for this exodus—looks like the Core Office remains the only dungeon on Dunster Street. After all, they’re just responding to demand. In the end, the accountability for this culture of careerism rests with us, the students. Traveling and research fellowships abound, but they receive far fewer applications than Morgan Stanley, in part because no one knows about them, but also because they can’t compare to a coveted step up the corporate ladder. Volunteer programs, summer school, Harvardwood: The alternatives to office work are there, but seem unable...
...always limited, and the obesity rate there is an impressive 11% compared to the United States’ 31%. (Boston, for a more apropos comparison, is just shy of 14%.) But the U.S. is a different place. In Barcelona, a walking city par excellence, markets with fresh produce abound; tiny, flavor-loaded tapas replace our leaden meat-filled entrees; and fast food, despite the occasional McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises, struggles to gain a foothold.

In the first liquor auction since Prohibition at Christie's in Manhattan, a 1926 single-malt Macallan scotch went for $54,000; that's more than $2,000 per oz. (30 mL). Elsewhere, a lock of John Lennon's hair brought $48,000, but Marie Antoinette's pearls and Orson Welles' Oscar are still available, both having failed to reach their minimum bids...
