...first issue of “The Sixties” may cover the Whitney Museum’s Summer of Love exhibit, the recent film “Across the Universe,” and interviews with priest and anti-war demonstrator Daniel Berrigan. Professor of Divinity Harvey Cox, now in his late 1970s, plans to contribute a book review with a perspective he describes as both “scholarly and personal.” Cox expressed similarities between protests against the Iraq war to the protest movements of the 1960s. “It?...
...current SEC chairman, Christopher Cox, has welcomed the report and has promised to follow up on implementing its key recommendations, including composing a comprehensive procedural investigative manual, similar to one used by U.S. Attorneys, to minimize discretionary abuse. Another recommendation: to keep reliable records of all external communication and to "generally discourage" communication with supervisors that excludes lead staff attorneys.

So when analysts make a presentation, they propose a particular course of action--increasing the percentage of Wal-Mart from 2% of the portfolio to 2.2%, say. The analyst advocates, and the committee meditates--somewhat like a jury...
...ability to do what it thinks is best for investors. Consider the 1990s, when tech-stock valuations soared off the charts. Many value investors came under enormous pressure from shareholders and corporate parents to load up on ridiculously inflated stocks. David Hoeft, who covers technology stocks at Dodge & Cox and sits on the domestic-equities committee, recalls a very different experience. "Our job inside the firm got easier," he says. "We trimmed as time went on. We just couldn't rationalize the expectations." No finger pointing. No pressure from the boss. And at the end of the day, no camel...
