...volunteers were on site from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. to talk to people, and answer questions about recycling. Passerbys were pleasantly surprised by how small the trash pile was, including University President Drew G. Faust, who commented to a volunteer that she thought it would be bigger. REPs also conducted a virtual waste audit that mimicked the annual audit of Harvard’s trash that happened earlier that week. In the waste audit, REPs went through a sample selection of Harvard’s trash, assessing its makeup and recovering recycled materials. The most “surprising?...
...sabotaging. Beautiful performances were often followed up by several lazy ones. Brando would blatantly goof off like a petulant child if he didn't get his way on set. And all the way, in his mind, Brando knew his talent was going to waste. As he grew crazier, and bigger, his myth grew bigger and crazier in kind. While Kanfer piles on the psychobabble early on, he eventually settles down and delivers a respectful and comprehensive, if not exactly groundbreaking, look at a truly mad genius...

Today it's Republicans who - though more unified on cultural issues - are split badly between upscale business types who want government out of the way and pro-government conservatives who want Washington's help. If Obama moves forcefully to restore economic order, the Wall Street Journal will squawk...
There was even bigger news from China, where the government announced a $586 billion stimulus package in an attempt to soften the blow of the coming recession. The China package was big and bold - and a tacit challenge to the Obama Administration. It represented 18% of the Chinese gross domestic product, the equivalent of a $2.4 trillion program in the U.S. Of course, China has bigger problems to solve than we do. Its social safety net is made of tissue; vast sums will be needed to establish a proper health-care and pension system. But much of the $586 billion...
