...outside of our little bubble, we have to ask ourselves whether they need another businessman, politician, or lawyer who follows the socially acceptable compromise path.For example, last summer’s immigration protests were hailed as the equivalent of the civil rights movement for latinos, but there was no Martin Luther King Jr. to lead the movement. Why? Because the leaders of the immigration movement were too distant from the lives that they were trying to serve. Most of the leaders were either born here or had lived in the U.S. for years. Having worked...
This Scrutiny is about professors who have gotten into some deep shit. But one of our subjects, Monrad Professor of Economics Martin L. Weitzman, easily justifies our use of naughty language; in April 2005, he allegedly stole $600 worth of manure from a Rockport, Mass. farm, supposedly to use as fertilizer. His August 2005 settlement with the Gloucester district court allowed him to dodge an admission of guilt, but The Crimson reported that Charles L. “Charlie” Lane Sr., the 98-year-old farmer, purportedly caught Weitzman red-handed (brown-handed?) in the middle...
...sick from New Mexico to Maine. No E. coli cases have been reported in Massachusetts. But when dealing with the possibility of a gastrointestinal illness marked by such symptoms as bloody diarrhea, cramping, and, um, death, Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) took what HUDS Assistant Director for Marketing Crista Martin called a “better safe than sorry” approach.

During her 11 years as a resident of Marrakech - where she's worked as an interior designer, hotel operator and property developer - former Paris-based lawyer Meryanne Loum-Martin has seen the local real estate market rapidly go from bubbling to booming. In particularly hot neighborhoods, she says, traditional riad villas that sold for j90,000 per hectare six years ago are now priced at €700,000. Per hectare prices in less effervescent areas have risen from...
...open-skies accord between the European Union and Morocco, current frequent daily flights between Europe and Moroccan cities will expand as low-cost carriers open routes. "I can get from Paris or London to Marrakech flying faster than I can get from London to Paris by train," Loum-Martin notes. Even some enthusiasts worry, however, that the kingdom's success in luring residents from Europe may produce some friction. For example, Marcelle and Max Billaux say they know affluent French residents of Rabat's casbah who not only do not declare their domestics to authorities, but pay them...
