...have no desire to get away. I’m playing in my playground and I don’t let the world decide my schedule.”Buffett sat down with the Harvard group for two hours on Friday afternoon. Students were eager to hear the Berkshire Hathaway CEO’s tips for financial success.“Investing is not about having a 200 IQ. You need a sound temperament and the ability to think for yourself,” he said. “Institutions get caught up in fads, [and] you have to keep...
History has been cruel to Anne Hathaway. For centuries, scholars and journalists have vilified her as a homely wench to whom William Shakespeare was unfortunately shackled. As the dominant story goes (and it is just a story for, as with so much of Shakespeare's life, there is little primary source material to back up the biographers' narratives), 26-year-old Anne coaxed 18-year-old William into a careless roll in the hay.

...Anne Hathaway Age: 24 Spiritual Mother: Audrey Hepburn Screen Cred: From The Princess Diaries to The Devil Wears Prada, Hathaway has steadily built her good-girl resume. But for the right pic - Brokeback Mountain - Hathaway took a walk on the R-rated side and took off her top. New projects: She plays Jane Austen in the August biopic of the novelist Becoming Jane. "Anne came back from her day off and she announced that she had just reread Mansfield Park," says Jarrolds. Good girl factoid: For fun she goes antiquing...
