...York Times described the storied Wall Street investment bank as “a throwback to a bygone era,” a place with a “cigar-chomping, suspender-wearing culture where taking risks was rewarded.” Some Harvard researchers may have found the link between the culture and the bust. Men with higher testosterone levels are more likely to opt for high-risk investments, according to a study by a Harvard anthropologist and a visiting economist.

...accidentally gave the Class of 2008 the ability to vote in the Class of 2009’s elections. HAA Senior Class Coordinator Alexandra Monti said that the two e-mail lists had been combined for an earlier purpose, causing the mistake. Both classes received e-mails with a link to the online ballot and passwords to allow them to log in and vote. The HAA then sent a follow-up email to the class of 2008 asking them: “Please don’t vote!!!” Punctuation aside, Monti said that the mistake...
