There is nothing wrong with a career in investment banking or consulting; after graduation, working in those fields can provide students with opportunities to travel around the world, manage money and earn a comfortable living. The annual autumn recruiting sessions attest to these fields' popularity among Harvard students, and any Harvard career fair would be amiss not to feature these companies prominently. Yet a career fair with nearly two-thirds of its offerings in those fields short-changes those Harvard students considering doing something else with their lives...
...anyone who has lived in a small town can attest, social intimacy comes at the price of privacy: everybody knows your business. And that's true in spades when next-door neighbors live not in Norman Rockwell clapboard homes but in thatched huts...

Bailey wants to call as many as 10 witnesses he hopes will attest to Fuhrman's alleged racism and his use of the N word, which Fuhrman denied on the stand; Shapiro and Cochran feel two or three will suffice. Kathleen Bell, who figured so prominently in the defense's plans with her recollection of Fuhrman's rant about "niggers gathered together and killed,'' is at best a problem witness. Pellicano reportedly has gathered evidence that she is lying, and Bell has written a letter...
