A bronze automated cathedral clock that was estimated at $8,000 to $12,000 fetched $64,000, and Mme. Chiang's bed went for 16 times its presale estimate. But for $50, someone got her vinyl recliner.

To quote a young professional, featured in The Crimson the following day, on his progress in his career: "Sometimes you just have to dig inside and find the strength to get out of bed in the morning. Mentally it's demanding, and coming from Harvard I knew I could do it." Did Harvard do this fellow a disservice, by not empowering him to feel that he need not work nights...
