...occupy, as the Crimson became known for snapping historic winning streaks and failing to replicate the winning formula of years past. The year started encouragingly, with Harvard capturing its sixth straight win at the Stonehurst Regatta and then returning home for a resoundingly successful performance at the Head of the Charles. The Stonehurst winning streak, however, would prove to be one of the few that the Crimson would be able to maintain over the course of its season. Five years of perfect dual races came to an end in the Stein Cup, as Harvard suffered a heartbreakingly close, one-seat...
...England and Wales a divorce magnet, because the rulings have been so generous to financially dependent spouses. In one case, the judges upheld a $9.4 million award to a woman who'd been married to a fund manager worth $60 million. In the second case, the judges lifted the five-year limit imposed by a lower court on annual maintenance payments of $468,000 to the ex-wife of an accountant who earned $1.4 million a year; she will now receive those payments until she remarries or one of them dies.

Aside from emphasizing the importance of a broad academic program and the ability to choose a diverse set of electives, most American colleges are also philosophically committed to the four-year undergraduate program. Canadian university students frequently take five or more years to complete a bachelor’s degree, while American students are often discouraged from doing...
...thought the nearly five-year Enron saga has now come to an end, with both men set for sentencing on Sept. 11, you may be as off base as the company's financial statements. Attorneys for Lay and Skilling vow to appeal, and there is precedent - all the way to the Supreme Court - to attack a white-collar fraud conviction based on the fine points of the kind of jury instructions given by Judge Simeon Lake. "A 'willful blindness' instruction is a very good ground [for appeal]," says Houston defense attorney Joel Androphy. Willful blindness, which Judge Lake specifically cited...
