...over the expanse of Central Park - a panoramic view he calls the most beautiful in the world - and describes the last time he exercised that skill. About a month ago, the CEO of Countrywide Financial, Angelo Mozilo, called him to ask for help. The beaten-down mortgage lender, whipping boy for everything that went wrong in last year's mortgage meltdown, was facing rumors of bankruptcy after burning through an $11.5 billion credit line. Lewis had already invested $2 billion of his company's money in Countrywide, a sum by then worth half of that, but he heard Mozilo...
...Patrick Desbois, a Catholic priest from Paris, visited Rava-Ruska for the first time, intrigued by tales he had heard from his grandfather as a boy. The older man had been a prisoner of war in the town in the early 1940s, and had told young Patrick that horrors had occurred there.

She never saw the photograph—the film was lost for 50 years—but last week Frenchmen saw her naked figure on newsstands across the country. The debate rages over whether Nouvel Observateur, a popular weekly, should have put this photo on its cover to commemorate the centenary...
...Alissa Cooperman ’10 choreographed a strong piece to Ciara’s “Like A Boy.” Costumed in DHAs and cut-off tees, Ola S. Canty ’11, Samantha R. Reiser ’11, Odstrcil and Cooperman effectively captured the song’s focus on liberation. The choreography, which focused on shoulder movements and torso contractions, expertly expressed the masculinity of Ciara’s words while maintaining fluid transitions between steps...
