...Google in 2004 has been a great investment. The price of gold in dollars has more than quadrupled since the end of the long gold bear market in April 2001, but over the long run the return has averaged about 2% a year, says George Milling-Stanley, managing director for government affairs at the World Gold Council in New York. (That compares with about 8% for stocks.) It's less a ticket to riches than what Milling-Stanley calls an "insurance policy." Many of the commodity investors who have recently piled into gold are looking for big gains, not insurance...
...protecting students from one another. Liz Braun, Mount Holyoke's dean of students, says that from an administrative standpoint, it's a "very slippery slope." Even at Wesleyan, administrators have to tread lightly. The school told Frank he could not use its servers for his business, but, says director of media relations David Pesci, "We have other students who are entrepreneurs on campus who have businesses, and quite frankly, as long as they are conducting those businesses within the laws assigned to those areas, there's not much that we can get involved with...

In one moment, a character stops to ask if the audience has noticed the two men in trench coats and sunglasses...
...Grease” concerns itself with the familiar romance between Danny and Sandy, two students who must deal with their clashing personalities among the other tribulations of attending high school in the 1950s. Though the story is famous, director Mia P. Walker ’10, who is also a Crimson arts writer, claims in the program, “This is our Grease.” Although only a few liberties are taken with the content of the play, Walker is right; what this interpretation lacks in originality it more than makes up for in talent and ambition...
