A risk-taking entrepreneur in the age of prudent professional managers, he is a visible refutation of the common belief that a self-made man can no longer pile up great wealth in the modern, highly developed capitalist economy. Now Wilson has a personal fortune estimated to exceed $200 million.

At dusk, the outskirts of Shanghai begin to look like one vast, endless vegetable market as peasants, by barge and handcart, bring...
...proposal closely resembles a recommendation drafted by a sub-committee of the CHUL Monday. The recommendation for next year states that the number of women in the five "good" ratio houses must not exceed a balance of three men to one woman. This ratio will remain static in subsequent years allowing the other Harvard houses to equalize gradually...
