...hedge fund set to launch in 2006. Lucrative hedge funds usually get a “two and twenty” cut—two percent of the amount invested in the fund goes to management fees every year plus 20 percent of the returns. For a $25.9 billion dollar hedge fund that grew at 19.2 percent last year—the equivalent of Harvard’s endowment—that would amount to almost half a billion dollars in management fees plus almost a billion dollars of Harvard’s nearly five billion dollar profit...
...defamation, personal defamation and historical mistakes in this dvd, which contains all the techniques of disinformation and propaganda. In circulating these lies on behalf of Ankara's Chamber of Commerce, Time magazine has, for the price of an advertisement, allowed itself to become part of Turkey's worldwide multimillion-dollar effort to undermine truth and evade responsibility for the deaths of 1.5 million innocent Armenian men, women and children.

We privileged few with full stomachs and extra money have hard decisions to make about how we’re going to spend the extra cash that the global economic structures have bestowed...
...crunched some more discouraging numbers. I'd always heard that freedom had a price. And soon I'd determined what it was in my case, driving my mammoth, inefficient truck: 30 a mile. This meant that my high-speed gallop along the highway was costing me roughly a dollar every two minutes. I couldn't have been more flummoxed if I'd been told that I now had to pay a dime for every breath and a nickel for every heartbeat...
