Different venue. Same result. Three weeks after falling 3-0 to Penn at the Palestra, the Harvard women’s volleyball team was swept by the Quakers at home, losing 3-0 (30-24, 30-23, 30-26) Saturday afternoon at the Malkin Athletic Center. Despite the solid all-around play of outside hitters Laura Mahon and Kathryn McKinley, the Crimson (3-17, 0-10 Ivy) ran its winless streak to nine matches. “I have a long-standing hatred of Penn,” co-captain Elizabeth Blotky said. “Everyone always gets fired...

"They were rough, very street-smart gunslingers at Refco," says Victor Niederhoffer, a hedge-fund manager who had dealings with Bennett in the 1990s.

...narrative excels. He recounts an entertaining history of early attempts at xenotransplantation, most notably the exploits of traveling doctor John R. Brinkley, a snake-oil pusher of the 1920s. Brinkley’s scam was convincing hundreds of American men that they could cure impotence (and restore their all-around vitality) through implanting goat testicles alongside their own gonads...
