...month of bad public relations for the Vatican, the opportunity to name a replacement for the retiring and less-than-media-friendly Cardinal Edward Egan, 76, Archbishop of New York, was a godsend. The man announced on Monday to lead the archdiocese arrives well equipped for the job. Timothy Dolan, 59, who has been in charge of the Milwaukee Archdiocese since 2002, has long been considered among the most likable and loquacious senior American prelates. In the late 1990s, while serving as rector of the Pontifical North American College, the largest English-speaking seminary in Rome, he was a major...
...Milwaukee, Archbishop Dolan got generally good marks in a difficult situation. His predecessor, Archbishop Rembert Weakland, was forced out after it was revealed that the archdiocese had paid a $450,000 settlement to a man who claimed that Weakland tried to sexually assault him.

Still, because it involves New York City, the job is necessarily more than just simple parish work, ideally serving as something of a roving ambassador for American Catholicism and a bridge to every walk of life that exists...
...HMC’s planned allocation to private equity for 2009 was up to 13 percent of the University’s endowment, or just under $4.8 billion, meaning that the proposed sale would comprise nearly a quarter of its private equity assets. HMC Director of Private Equity Peter Dolan could not be reached for comment, and University spokesman John D. Longbrake declined to confirm the sale due to Harvard’s standing policy not to “discuss investment strategies or individual investments.” Several Boston-area hedge funds that received substantial initial investments from...
