...interest rates on its debt. But instead of rising, the report said rates fell “rapidly,” forcing Harvard to meet large collateral requirements.The report added that since the decline came in the fair value of the portfolio, or the amount that Harvard would gain by terminating the swaps (or lose, in the case of a negative value), the liquidity drain could be reversed if rates rise again in the future.

OpenSkies chose Amsterdam and bought another business-class fledgling, L'Avion, to gain access to Paris and slots at Orly and share costs and culture. BA doesn't fly to those places from New York City, and it sure as heck isn't going to undercut its own lucrative business-class traffic to London...
...books is also exquisite, with the Loeb Greek and Latin classics in one room, more exotic Chinese history in another, and historical theory on the third floor. Indeed, the Hicks House Library is a microcosm of Harvard itself: intellectual, studious, and exclusive—but not impossible to gain access...
