...receive. That prompted the firm to sue the Canadian company, accusing it of intentionally undervaluing the holdings. Blinds to Go then accused Harvard of improperly transferring its stake to Charlesbank, saying the fund was not a Harvard affiliate. Reaffirming a lower court’s ruling, appeals judge Bruce M. Selya ’55, also a Harvard Law School graduate, wrote that Charlesbank was, in fact, not a Harvard affiliate. Selya invoked a famous line from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to reflect on the difficulty of defining affiliate and non-affiliate. “What?...

...Goose is firing 100 m.p.h. fastballs at a different set of heads: baseball writers who haven't voted him into the Hall of Fame. "I'll take on any writer, anywhere, on any show, and I will bury him," Gossage said in January after learning that Bruce Sutter, a star from the same era, got the Hall call. Gossage is still ticked.
