...campus where resources allocated for student life are perennially insufficient to meet the needs of the College’s student body, it is unconscionable that Harvard abides the existence of this small handful of groups and their monopoly over some of the choicest opportunities available to undergraduates. Trips to Bermuda, World Tours, intercessions spent skiing in Vail, performances in major motion pictures—these marks of unspeakable privilege stand in stark contrast to the opportunities afforded to most other student organizations. As other groups scrounge for space, all-male a cappella groups devour rooms for their rehearsals...
...news from General Motors these days. Its once dominant U.S. market share is slipping. Steel and labor costs are mounting. Profits are evaporating. But there's an unexpected bright spot in Asia: GM's South Korean unit, GM Daewoo Auto & Technology. In 2002, GM and its partners acquired the choicest assets of bankrupt Daewoo Motor for $440 million?and it looked like they overpaid. Daewoo's market share in Korea was shrinking and its factories were running at half their capacity.

Kuklinski, an officer on the general staff of Poland's army during the cold war, had unique access to some of the Soviet Union's choicest military secrets-and he passed them on to the enemy as a spy for the CIA. From 1972 to 1981, Kuklinski, whose code name was Gull, copied more than 35,000 pages of classified documents, often using a CIA camera disguised as a cigarette lighter. Perhaps his greatest service...
...says. The experience helped turn Spacey into a self-described "theater rat," and one of his priorities at the Old Vic will be to encourage attendance among young people. Iceman's acclaimed 1998 run, in both New York and London, featured subsidized student tickets that included some of the choicest seats in the house. "When you have a youthful, eager, excited audience in the front row, you infect the entire room with a kind of energy, and it also affects the actors," says Spacey. During Iceman - his first appearance onstage at the Old Vic - Spacey was asked...
