...When you think of The Crimson, definitely his face comes to mind," said former Crimson president David J. Barron '89. "Pat's a huge presence there...
...past four decades. So what, other than coincidence, accounts for the infamous "Monday effect"? Several academics point to the preceding weekend, which often follows a shaky Friday. That's when individual investors--who do the majority of Monday trading--tend to ponder their investments and nervously peruse speculation in Barron's on Saturday and the big newspaper financial sections on Sunday before deciding to bail out.

Contrarian weekly Barron's, however, sees his actions as a harbinger of good things to come. Earlier this month, the Toronto Stock Exchange halted trading of his parent company, Seagram, to allow officials to deny a whirl of rumors: that Seagram was shedding its Tropicana juice division; that Bronfman might sell Universal to DreamWorks; and, last and most incredible, that patriarch Edgar Bronfman Sr. was essentially firing...
