Between the ACSR's case-by-case approach and the Corporation's inertia, Harvard's recent investment record has been confusing at best. Although the Corporation espouses a policy of owning voting stock in companies to insure that it can influence corporate practices through shareholder resolutions, it retains $40 million worth of non-voting notes in General Motors Assistance Corporation (GMAC).

Just why a rabbit was swimming straight for the Carter canoe, teeth flashing and nostrils flaring, was unclear. Carter later surmised that perhaps the creature was fleeing an attacker. In any event, he did the sensible thing. He fended off the animal with a paddle. That at least was what they were saying around the White House last week.
