...what has been a remarkably bubbly period for London. Over the past decade and a half, ever since its last protracted downturn, the British capital has transformed itself into Europe's indispensable financial center. Leaving Frankfurt and Paris in the dust and encouraged by the policies of Gordon Brown, the current British Prime Minister, it has become a magnet for people, jobs and investment from around the world. The big U.S. banks made London their international hub, and the major continental European banks moved much of their trading and investment banking operations there.

He was talking about how with poetry or literature or art it’s a little bit like taking a tree and making it into a table. The table is completely different from a tree, but in some ways it reveals the very heart...
...sophomore Marco Iannuzzi are out for the season. This leaves Harvard with a pair of inexperienced wideouts—sophomore Levi Richards and freshman Adam Chrissis—and senior Alex Breaux to solidify the Crimson air attack. As for the ground game, team rushing leader sophomore Gino Gordon, along with Ho, will find worthy opposition in a Cornell defense ranked second in the nation in rush defense, surrendering just 37 yards per game...
