...Juror Doug Baggett said both sides made such passionate arguments that he changed his opinion almost daily. "You felt like a ping-pong ball," said the manager for a legal department. In the end, jurors didn't believe the hands-on executives were unaware of any wrongdoing at the company. One juror, Freddy Delgado, an elementary school principal, pointed out that he's responsible for what happens inside classrooms - even when he's in his office or off campus. "I'm still responsible if a child gets lost," he said. Fellow juror and business owner Wendy Vaughn said...
...learn will be completely irrelevant to our success in the future. Long on mental acuity but short on discrete skills, our diplomas act more like fall-retarding parachutes than free-flying hang gliders. English concentrators are going to work for investment banks. Reports on the market size for ball-bearings in Ohio and impenetrable mutual fund prospectuses will replace papers on Dante’s reinvention of the novel. Forced to redefine our individual expertises by the exigencies of the job market and quaternary school admissions boards, we are caught in a kind of free-falling limbo—flailing...
...Harvard, so untested in the final 1000 meters all season long, put together its finest last half when it mattered most.

The Midshipmen pushed forward to claim second, but a bow ball battle between Harvard and Yale kept the third-place finisher in doubt even after the two boats slowed to a paddle. “I thought we pulled it out—we were inching up on them and we were pretty much even,” Aldrich said...
Fortunately, New York City boasts not one, but two minor league ball clubs—the Brooklyn Cyclones and the Staten Island Yankees. An easy ride on the D, F, or Q to Coney Island will bring a true fan to Keyspan Park, and great seats at Cyclone games cost less than 20 dollars. Though they lack big names and major league celebrity, the Cyclones field young, earnest players to give the crowd their money’s worth. Keyspan Park offers the chance to break the monotony of a summer of i-banking with a real New York ballgame...
