Most importantly, fashionably dressed Italian Prime Mogul Silvio Berlusconi, true to form, arrived at the G-20 completely “G’d up from the feet up.” Smooth teamwork is not the style of diplomacy the world is used to seeing at these meetings. After all, we’ve come to expect deadlock on the most important issues. The last G-20 summit ended with nothing but an agreement to meet again, and the Doha round of international trade talks was a joke...
...golf stop the slump? Polegato insists that his customers have asked that GEOX create a comfy golf shoe. "Golf is a perfect environment for GEOX technology," he says. "You walk long hours, often on a damp surface, and in warm if not hot climates. Why suffer with your feet? In the third millennium, it is impossible that people still suffer from such a basic problem as sweaty, smelly feet." Right on, Mario. The problem for GEOX, however, is that the world's economy may stink even worse...
...history. Polegato started the company in 1995, six years after an-hour long walk through the Reno, Nev., desert compelled him to take out a Swiss army knife and poke holes in the rubber soles.

...access the Library’s Special Collections. Close to 40 percent of the graduate students who contact the Library hoping to consult the materials in Special Collections are not affiliated with Harvard, according to David R. Warrington, the Special Collections librarian. The department houses nearly 2,000 feet of linear manuscript, more than 200,000 rare books, and over 70,000 visual images. “The fellowship will support greater access, especially by young scholars with research budgets, to our unique materials,” said John G. Palfrey ’94, professor of law and vice...
...desired House placement. This year, however, Cambridge and Harvard police aggressively shut down the ritual. Several boats of more outlandish construction may have merited intervention, but the overall crackdown carried out by HUPD was excessive. It seems incredible that a few flimsy craft, doomed to sail a few feet and then crumple in flames, posed a real safety threat. Obviously, students cannot be allowed to endanger themselves and others with reckless behavior, but a degree of trust must be maintained between authorities and those whom they protect. We fail to see the pressing danger of the popular boat release commensurate...
