...guys have fun on stage,” she said. “Guys are guys, they let everything hang loose.” Daniel E. Minamide ’12 walked the stage in only a tiger-striped Speedo, eliciting a chorus of catcalls. Eyes grew wide when Byron T. Lichtenstein ’11 ripped off his shirt and jiggled his pecs...
...Byron Wein was senior investment strategist at Morgan Stanley until 2005, when he left to join Pequot Capital Management, a hedge fund in Westport, Conn.

(Brown garnered 6% overall in the Marist poll and 10% among upstate voters.) State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, besides polling even with Kennedy in the Marist survey, offers Paterson another benefit. The "accidental" governor - who replaced Eliot Spitzer after his resignation amid a highly publicized sex scandal - will have to run for his own office in 2010, and Cuomo could be a formidable challenger in the Democratic primary...
