Despite last year’s disappointing recruiting season, Harvard students have continued to flock to careers in finance and consulting during this recruiting cycle—which will reach its peak in the coming weeks—according to Robin E. Mount, director of the Office of Career Services...

It seemed plausible that he had made a mistake of weapons-grade stupidity and was prepared to make amends for it. Particularly since he'd torpedoed his career and couldn't possibly sink any lower in the public's eyes. All this, and yet the marriage couldn't be saved...
