...really smart, right,” the “summer question”––soon to gain ubiquity with the approach of spring––is a guilty pleasure.And for good reason. Whether in New York, at the Times or Goldman Sachs, or in New Delhi with WorldTeach, most Harvard students have few limitations to the opportunities they can pursue over the summer or the people they can impress by sharing them.Most, but not all. Harvard’s financial aid policy currently requires all students receiving support from the College...
...offered in "supplemental" or add-on spending requests, along with additional funding for Hurricane Katrina relief. Bush's Budget Director, Joshua Bolten, told reporters that he expects that the White House will request another $70 billion this year for Iraq.

Despite stock-market jitters caused by a scandal this month at Internet company Livedoor, Goldman Sachs even estimates Japan's economy could grow slightly more strongly than last year. And in Germany, business confidence is at its highest point since May 2000, according to a survey released last week, auguring well for the new coalition government led by Chancellor Angela Merkel.

...risks in mature economies aren't so lethal. Instead there is potential treachery of the bottom line. Bank analysts are worried that HSBC has become overly dependent on slow-moving, mature markets, such as in Europe and the U.S.--which could slow growth. Goldman Sachs estimates HSBC's profit growth will sink to a more-than-respectable 9.8% a year from 2005 to 2007, after expanding an average of 19% a year from...
