On the opening day of trading, she and about a dozen other investors gathered at a branch of brokerage KGI Asia in the city's North Point district shortly before 10 a.m. Within minutes of the starting bell, China Green shares had climbed 56%.

...more tolerable solution and one more respectful of the rule of law would be allowing the outside world, for once, to give guidance to Harvard. If a student is convicted of felony sexual assault, an automatic expulsion should follow. If the student is exonerated, or the district attorney decides there is not enough evidence to prosecute, the University has an obligation bordering on a civic duty to make the same judgment unless evidence otherwise is presented. Of course, admission (or readmission) to a college is not of the same thread as freedom from incarceration or other punishment. This difference gives...
