...Massachusetts’ students, but it’s obvious some of my peers here don’t exude any enthusiasm for service. While a devoted student contingent serves close to 10,000 clients in the Cambridge area through the Phillips Brooks House Association, most are less generous with their time. Some revel in privileged positions of “high society,” and just the thought of feeding an old woman at a nursery home or picking up garbage at a park wounds their narcissism. Others structure their extracurriculars around careerist goals, sacrificing their souls into...
...Bing vs. Big Oil. The bulk of the money behind the measure comes from Stephen Bing, 41, a Hollywood producer who was, until now, best known for fathering actress Elizabeth Hurley's baby out of wedlock. Bing, heir to a $600 million New York real estate fortune and a generous contributor to Democratic candidates, has spent $40 million of his own money on Prop 87 so far.

Why buy a long-haul operator? Aer Lingus is not a long-haul operator. It's a short-haul airline with a small long-haul arm - 85% of its traffic is short-haul, high-cost...

The state of Lower Saxony, for instance, holds a stake in the company, and Saxon politicians routinely pressure VW to maintain jobs and generous benefits in the hinterland. VW's unions, also powerful, recently agreed to extend the workweek--to 35 hours for factory workers, up from 28.8 hours. In return VW promised to keep production of the next-generation Golf in Germany. "Such deals rob VW of the flexibility you need in this...
Like many of my classmates, generous remuneration is a temptation to give into an 80-hour/week existence as an Excel and PowerPoint jockey. But as I sat staring at the OCS’s e-recruiting forums last month, I started feeling guilty about my motivation—what could only be described as my crass, money-hungry impulse. I was haunted by that nagging question: Is this what my liberal arts education at Harvard really prepared...
