...reasonable enough-except that the portly 48-year-old is also a decidedly un-Gallic lawyer from the central Indian city of Bhopal. Nevertheless, according to the book Le Rajah de Bourbon, published last week by European blueblood Prince Michael of Greece (a Bourbon scion himself), Balthazar is a direct descendant of Jean de Bourbon, a swashbuckling nephew of Henri IV who joined the court of the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1560. While Jean's progeny faded into obscurity in the East, Henri IV's ruled France for centuries until the guillotine ended the Bourbon line at Louis...
...radio’s content is as bland and commercialized as the music in the Gap. Satellite service is embraced as the future of radio because it is new technology, and new technology seems like the only way to save old-fashioned broadcast radio.

Outside attention, when it came in the form of a letter sent by Fabbri in 1899 praising "the aristocratic and austere" beauty...
...Harvard administration’s job shuffle, the selection of President-elect Drew G. Faust has so far stolen the show. Flying under the radar, however, is an administrative search that will arguably have a greater direct impact on the students of Harvard College—the search for the new dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS). Given the importance of this position, we hope that Faust, who will select the new dean, will give students an official voice. The dean of the Faculty has broad powers that affect both student life and education. The dean holds...
