...their parents' behavior, so mom and dad need to set a good example, too. Carl Tancaktiong, son of the founder of Philippine fast-food empire Jollibee, admits his childhood was pretty plush. "I don't remember not getting anything I wanted," he says. Yet Tancaktiong, 28, says he has grown up to be reasonably frugal, not because his parents lectured about money, but because they had down-to-earth spending habits themselves, eschewing luxury-brand clothing and expensive cars. Tancaktiong, a general manager of one of the company's Chinese chains, says he and his siblings recognized early that...
...crisis may be exposing another, more insidious, flaw. As the industry has grown, it has become harder to tell good investment managers from lucky ones - and lucky ones from outright frauds. In a recent paper, Dean Foster, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and H.

It’s the only school I know where the fans stand...
...partnership with Ward’s Berry Farm should serve as a model for production of other sustainable foods. Besides squash, other vegetables such as cauliflower come in winter varieties that can weather a late harvest. As celebrated recently on the kiosks in the dining halls, locally grown tomatoes are a salient example of variety intersecting environmental conscientiousness, and such efforts should persist. The squash problem begins with boredom caused by endless repetition—unfortunately, calling the vegetable candy roaster versus spaghetti does not change its essence—but it does not end there. Squash...
