...summit too high for him, Messier was blown away by the lofty winds - revealing just how lightweight he actually was and casting him back to the cow pastures he never should have left in the first place. Either way, I still bought Vivendi shares at ?140. What a jerk. I am ruined and shamed, but in certain ways I came away richer for having learned: • That Messier had a problem with time management. "I give Pierre Lescure two years to turn Canal Plus around" - and two months later he sacks Lescure. "I'll be happy to run Vivendi Universal...

...Tuesday and Thursday" drops us in on Paul Chloe, a thirtyish civil-servant during his mid-week days off. He's a jerk. Arrogant and acerbic, he snaps at his wife and puts down his friends. But he seems more desperate than angry. His moral compass has gone haywire. He shoplifts a can of tuna because "food always tastes better when it's free," but helps an old man who has fallen to the curb. On Tuesday night, after boozing it up with his "pals" he snatches a wad of cash from the hands of an unsavvy pedestrian. Where...

CASV reacted to the Faculty’s vote with a typical knee-jerk response: their outraged members fumed to reporters from The Crimson, decrying the lack of sensitivity Harvard administrators have for sexual assault; they organized a rally and found several faculty members out of hundreds to lend legitimacy to their cause...
