...golf team likes where it stands in the league: right at the top. Traveling to New Haven for the Yale Spring Open, the Crimson edged out the hometown Bulldogs in Round 1 and took a decisive 10-stroke advantage in Round 2, finishing the nine-team open atop the leaderboard at 595. Yale settled for second at 610, and Dartmouth finished just behind non-conference opponent Skidmore at 614, good enough for fourth. Non-Ivy teams Hartford, Canisius, Niagara, Trinity, and Fordham also competed in the open. “It was definitely the most exciting tournament weekend we?...
...happens next is Topic A in private-equity circles. Everybody agrees there's a shakeout on the way; at industry conferences one hears predictions that anywhere from 20% to 50% of PE firms will go out of business.

If there is some atomic interference—that is, if two atoms of rubidium do not fall simultaneously—then scientists will have to rethink how gravitational forces act on particles generally. Thompson will also be pursuing research in physics...
...nondescript café in Washington with the man he wanted to be his deputy, Ron Bloom. Both men had spent much of their careers in the universe of high finance, but they came from different planets. Thanks to the success of his dealmaking firm, Quadrangle, Rattner, 56, lives atop New York society in an apartment overlooking Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Bloom, who turns 54 today, lived until recently in Pittsburgh and trained as an investment banker so he could help unions negotiate complicated deals, which he has done for the past 15 years as an assistant...
