Only two things stopped the panic. One was Paulson's move to guarantee the money market funds with a special hoard of Treasury money usually reserved for stabilizing the dollar against other currencies.

As a result, every dollar that Harvard pours into...
When Third Eye Blind took the stage at Yardfest last spring, the rain-drenched hoard of Harvard students crooned along with the band’s hit, “Semi-Charmed Life.” “I want something else,” the song goes—and students chanted along with the band. But for some, these lyrics carry genuine sentiment: When it comes to the artists that the College Events Board (CEB) chooses to perform at Harvard each spring, many of us wish that we were watching something—or someone?...
