Speculation arose earlier this semester that 90s pop-rock band Eve 6 would be performing at Yardfest after the group posted a Harvard tour date on their Web site. After the Eve 6 rumor broke, CEB fielded numerous comments from students who expressed a desire to see Ratatat and Bareilles instead, Mee said.

Geithner - who at 47 still looks like the Doogie Howser of economists - has had difficulty filling out his roster of lieutenants; he wasn't helped when Paul Volcker, the old lion who got the U.S. out of its last deep recession, described Treasury's staffing woes as "shameful."
