...stalwarts of Harvard College to their knees (though others wrinkle their noses and say “smels like digital altering”). While the Bulldogs were thrashing the Crimson on the field, scoring three points while holding the Crimson offense to five touchdowns, a company of brave Elis crept into the stands and pulled off what was widely considered by them to be the best prank ever...
...uncle from California sent me Blonde and Blonde, a more sophisticated Dylan album, for my fifteenth birthday, along with a Janis Joplin CD. I took to Janis more at first; after all she was better for holding my hairbrush like a microphone and screaming along. But the Dylan crept up on me, with quirky lines like “Mona Lisa must’ve had the Highway Blues, you can tell by the way she smiled,” which struck me as incredibly witty—and true.

...Zhejiang takes place outside the formal banking system. Local regulators do nothing to discourage informal lending because it funnels capital to vital, fast-growing businesses.

In the early 1990s, Japan's share of the deficit spiked at more than 50%, but it since has sunk to about 10%. Meanwhile, China's share has slowly crept upward, to more than 20%, and now represents the U.S.'s largest deficit with any country. The trend is set to continue as Beijing opens the mainland's economy to meet the terms of WTO membership. Bush will also have to keep a spotlight on the Chinese policy of pegging...
