...sports represent yet another blow in the fight against free time—free time not in the sense of having nothing to do, but in the sense of independence from any larger body. Just heading to the basketball court to shoot hoops would seem to most students shockingly unorganized; the pressure and organizational allure of IMs push back. Rowers not on the crew team, for example, cannot even skull on their own without being told, “You should...

According to reports in Indian newspapers, investigators for the Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Division have discovered Satyam funds were diverted into Maytas Properties and Maytas Infrastructure, property companies owned by the Raju family. Two senior partners of Satyam's auditors, Price Waterhouse, S. Gopalakrishnan and Srinivas Taluri, have also been...
