...need of the best advice and talent during a time of especial fiscal constraints. In late May, Harvard announced that its then-Executive Vice President Edward C. Forst '82 would leave the University for Wall Street, where he had worked for 26 years. But Forst was not the only high-profile finance administrator to leave the University at the tail end of the academic year. A little more than a month after the news of Forst's resignation, Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean Michael D. Smith announced that FAS' then-primary finance guru, Brett C. Sweet, would be leaving...

...territory administered by the U.S. after World War II. Under an agreement signed in 1986, the islands were granted independence but citizens were given the right to live and work in the U.S. and serve in its military. Initially, few enlisted. But these days, U.S. military recruiters visit local high schools annually and students sign up in droves. For FSM youths, military service means money, adventure and opportunity, a way off tiny islands with few jobs. In 2008, the country had more Army recruits per capita than any U.S. state.
