...possess—just not all in one place. The idea of a decentralized student center is new, untried, and somewhat bizarre, but that is precisely why it might actually work.Though some fear that the notion of a “decentralized student center” is just a clever excuse for not building a real one, maybe, for once, the administration does know best. SPACE JAMHarvard is an urban campus. Space is limited, precious, and extremely expensive. “Funding is difficult to get, but space is even more difficult,” Corker says. Perhaps that?...
...Value Trust has beaten the S&P 500 stock index for 14 years running. A brilliant polymath whose intellectual passions range from chaos theory to Wittgenstein, Miller has trounced his rivals by thinking differently. But lately the investor, who is based in Baltimore, Md., has looked a tad less clever. In the past two years, oil and gas stocks surged as the price of oil nearly tripled, to $70 per bbl., yet Miller missed the entire runup. "It's a mistake we should not have made," he says, and he's paying for it. With Value Trust down 2.2% this...
...seemed like an extremely clever idea at the time: a stylish two-seater commuter car that would be ideal for city traffic, small enough to fit in the tiniest of parking spots and highly fuel efficient.

In the first six months of this year, Mercedes plunged into the red because of a massive $1.3 billion restructuring charge it took...
It’s a characteristically simple plot for the duo, which allows the feverish imagination of Park to charge through every minute detail of the movie’s design. The results are almost always devilishly clever. The walls of Wallace’s house are covered with portraits of their customers, whose eyes light up when their alarms are tripped by scavenging vermin (you can guess what happens when, one night, the Were-Rabbit tramples through every garden in town). Every item in Lady Tottington’s wardrobe intricately recreates a different piece of greenery...
Transitioning back and forth from the present to the past with clever visual queues, White provides a coolly detached and analytical narrative over emotionally wrenching scenes. Rendered in full color, using a myriad of different styles, North Country takes full advantage of its graphical opportunities to enhance the story. Only a handful of comic artists have the self-confidence to switch from a sad scene of failed escape rendered in the old-fashioned color dots of past comics, to a harrowing red-hued sequence of a kiddy party interrupted by a berserk relative who starts a shoot-out through...
