...addendum, which was written by former Crimson president Amit R. Paley ’04 and the Undergraduate and Graduate Council representatives to the group, Scott F. Goldman ’04-’05 and Tracy J. Wells, primarily criticized the recommendation regarding the confidentiality of HUPD’s internal reports and the lack of any final vote approving the group’s report...
Certainly, the run of greed-inspired scandals beginning in 2001 with Enron has brought about meaningful changes. The accounting industry now has a federally chartered oversight board. Stock analysts are no longer permitted to shill for investment bankers at road shows. Bankers at Goldman Sachs can't talk to analysts on the phone without a corporate chaperone listening in, and e-mails between their departments automatically bounce back.

And for the impoverished majority, the message of a "Shining India" rang hollow, at best, or worse, sounded like rich folks showing gloating over their prosperity...
...sangfroid, there is no guarantee that Troy will be a hit. Summer blockbusters have become the riskiest investment in the film business. In his book Hollywood Economics, economist Arthur De Vany analyzed 2,015 movies to determine what succeeds and what fails. The answer, best summarized by screenwriter William Goldman, is that "nobody knows anything." What De Vany did learn is that moviegoers behave according to the principles of Bose-Einstein condensation--a fancy way of saying they are more likely to go to a movie if they receive an "authentic signal" that other people have enjoyed it.
