...addition to Cech and Faust, two academics outside the Ivy League, Stanford’s Etchemendy and Cambridge’s Richard, seemed to be plausible contenders. And as Harvard looked to strengthen its science programs and make the Allston campus a center of scientific innovation, the committee eyed Harold E. Varmus, a former National Institutes of Health Director and 2000 Harvard presidential candidate, late in the search process, according to an individual familiar with Varmus’ activities. Varmus, 67, met with committee members several times for interviews as late as January, according to the source. On the sidelines...
...additional $1.6 million in unpaid pledges. By June 11, 1959—Commencement Day for the Class of 1959—the program had raised only $61 million, or 74 percent, of its goal of $82.5 million, according to the Boston Sunday Herald.

Union president Harold Schaitberger said the group found Obama "a little somber." And this weekend, unless he changes his schedule, Obama will be the only leading Democratic presidential contender not to show up for the Iowa Democratic Party's Hall of Fame dinner in Cedar Rapids...
...show that gathers its material from 50 years of Broadway revues is open to debates about what was left out. And since the Q. in Critic is for Quibble, here are a few. Berlin, with those six (terrific) songs, and Harold Rome, with three (lesser) ones, might be overrepresented in a show meant to be panoramic. The two sketches are amusing, and give the stars a chance to mewl and mug becomingly; but, from the same book (The Greatest Revue Sketches) that Viertel & Co. dipped into, I'd have chosen George S. Kaufman's brief, devastating "If Men Played Cards...
