...that the median tenure for a CEO in the U.K. is now only 2-3 years and that 68% of European CEOs hold office less than five years. Globally, the median corporate captain's term has dropped from nearly four years in 1999 to less than three today. The clamor for shareholder value, which pressures ceos to post good numbers quick or get out, helps drive the turnover rate.

To many of us, as the peak vacation season draws near, travel may seem a less appealing prospect than it has ever been...
Just ask Weld Professor of Law Charles R. Nesson ’60. When Nesson offered to defend Scholl in a mock trial, he encountered objections nearly as vociferous as the initial clamor. BLSA demanded that Nesson be publicly censured and barred from teaching first-year classes, and Nesson agreed to step down from teaching all but the final lecture of his torts class this year...
