...located outside their window. Harvard should use some of the magical “mitigation fund” to, at least symbolically, chop off some of the housing fees of those affected by the construction. For those not intimately affected by this particular construction project, it is easy to dismiss my concerns as representative of only a tiny portion of Harvard’s population. The larger issue, though, is the continual blunders on Harvard’s part when it comes to conducting construction. General failure to adequately consult the student body (and even, in many cases, the faculty...
...yesterday’s meeting of the full Faculty of the Arts and Sciences (FAS), the Faculty closed its door to the press and voted to dismiss an undergraduate, a rare event that has occurred less than once a year in the past decade. Citing privacy concerns, FAS administrators did not release the student’s name or the reasons he or she was dismissed, but FAS Director of Communications Robert Mitchell did confirm that the motion to dismiss passed. According to Mitchell, before yesterday the Faculty has only voted five times in the past decade to dismiss...
...China that has the GDP growth of 9%-or oil producers like Azerbaijan with 12%, or Kazakhstan with 19%. This way, we see that Russia's achievement is more than modest.

Some of us had wondered if this man, who had so steadfastly refused to match rhetoric with reality for so long, would ever finally hit a wall he couldn't deny, a fact he couldn't dismiss, a world he couldn't fully control. We wonder no more. Bush's signature second-term domestic agenda--Social Security reform--died a pitiless, lingering death in 2005, as the public simply refused to buy it. His gleeful opening of the fiscal spigot--the biggest increase in public spending since F.D.R.--got deficit hawks squawking...
...hard to dismiss Mackey. He opened a shop in 1978 with a former girlfriend and $45,000 in capital and nurtured it into a FORTUNE 500 business that boasts 180 stores in North America and Britain. Its stock has soared from $4 to $145 in little more than a decade, and its sales of often pricey organic and ethically produced groceries pulled in $4.7 billion in its last fiscal year. All those profits, yet the company measures its performance by the value it creates for six stakeholders: its customers, its employees, its investors, its vendors, communities where it operates...
