Surviving as a club sport often comes with financial difficulty. The yearly costs of Harvard’s Rugby Club, for instance, hover in the range of $60,000, according to the group’s president, Callum L. King...
...fallout from the Northern Rock crisis will flush more than just King out into the open. While it falls to the Bank of England to shore up stability in the country's banking sector, it's the job of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) to supervise individual banks. Callum McCarthy, the regulator's chairman, and CEO Hector Sants are now set to appear in front of the parliamentary committee next month.

...Kaldor raised over half of Ricky Swallow's $A1.4 million exhibition budget through private and corporate donors; this year he's aiming for $A1.2 million, and as Engberg puts it, "It would be a brave person who would say no to John." Come Nov. 21, when artist Callum Morton's resurrected Melbourne house will again be dismantled, something should remain of Kaldor's vision: what Engberg calls "a long-term legacy of patronage for this kind of ambitious scale of work...
