Three years ago, Appleton Paper Co. decided to make money. An excellent pursuit for a company, you would think. But as with all businesses, not so easy as it sounds. The money in question is U.S. currency, more specifically the very high-tech paper used to print it. The Appleton, Wis., papermaker planned an expensive makeover to compete for the $400 million contract to supply the government with currency paper when the contract went up for bid this spring. Appleton, an employee-owned company, figured to spend more than $70 million upgrading one of its three paper mills, enabling...
...history is not on Appleton's side. Since 1879, one company, the family-run papermaker Crane & Co., has produced virtually all U.S. currency paper, an intricate blend of cotton, linen and ever evolving security features, at two facilities in Dalton, Mass.

The score was tied 1-1 at the first break, and senior goaltender Ali Boe looked to be on her game in net for the Crimson. With the momentum of staying in the game against the No. 2 St. Lawrence squad, Harvard (17-12-4) made its most important mark of the season and downed the Saints (30-4-2) by a final...
...some at universities across the country have called for the University to single out Israel among all nations as the lone country where it is inappropriate for any part of the University’s endowment to be invested,” Summers said at morning prayers in Appleton Chapel. “I hasten to say the University has categorically rejected this suggestion.” His suggestion that divestment from Israel would be “anti-Semitic in effect, if not in intent” made waves scarcely a year into his presidency. His opponents claimed that...
