After reading about the investment in PetroChina in this paper, two undergrads, Benjamin B. Collins ’06 and Manav K. Bhatnagar ’06, started working on a petition with Darfur Action Group (DAG), a University-wide effort. They toiled behind the scenes: figuring out who had influence over the Corporation, hand-delivering letters, making presentations to boards and committees and making the case to University President Lawrence H. Summers himself...
...received a mixed response, they convened an ad hoc group of students and came up with Senior Gift Plus (SGP), an alternate pool of money that would be contributed to the Senior Gift only if Harvard divested from PetroChina. Working with Collins, Bhatnagar, members of the Senior Gift Committee, DAG, and others, they brought their message to this page and to e-mail lists and dinning halls across campus...
...Apple" it would have lost altogether. And there was that little matter of the XFL. What's more, Zucker and other NBC execs have long acknowledged the network needs to build successful new comedies. So why was it launching the season with a paltry eight on the schedule (canceling "DAG," "The Fighting Fitzgeralds" and "The Weber Show"), launching only enough new ones to replace the ones it axed?

He soon found out: "I spent two years day and night in that...
...Puritan brothers running contraband hat buckles evade the county sheriff on an extremely fast and maneuverable mule. The end of the show featured a simulated mule chase, ending when the sheriff's mule flips over and lands upside down in the bushes, causing him to say simulated curses like "dag-nab-bit" and "razza-frackin." The main difference from the modern-day version is that, instead of escaping at the end of the show, the Dukes were fatally afflicted by God using a large boulder (a difficult, but not impossible, special effect in 1632). It was a successful show...
