...exert control over the majority of its endowment: 85 percent of these funds are restricted, meaning that they are subject to legal and donor-imposed stipulations that prevent their unconditional use. Since every donation is inherently tied to the wishes of its donor, Harvard, as an academic institution, holds explicit sway over only a marginal percentage of its own wealth...
...enter the public sector upon graduating. For many, the seemingly insurmountable debt accumulated from years of tuition make low-paying public-interest jobs simply untenable. Some students who enter public interest law now are forgiven of their loans after graduating, but the loan forgiveness program hardly provides explicit encouragement for this branch of law. The new program seeks to rectify that by guaranteeing a tuition-free third year—a psychological frame shift that will hopefully make a public sector career seem more manageable in terms of debt resolution.

But before Stipe can indulge his mopey impulses, Buck's guitar rises...

In the 1947 Kiss of Death, he played the psychopathic Tommy Udo, maniacally giggling as he pushed a wheelchair-bound old lady down the cellar stairs to her death. This sort of violence, explosive and explicit, was startling in early postwar films, as were the insane delight glinting in the killer's eye, the sexual thrill in his catarrhal voice. But that was just acting - glorious acting - for Widmark was a well-liked, well-mannered, essentially private star, a gentleman of the old school. See scenes...
