...Having a single company control so much of the live music market is almost guaranteed to mean one thing: ungodly ticket prices. In 2007, the cost of two seats to see Phil Collins and a re-united Genesis warble Mama was around $400, while two of the best seats for Jay-Z's current 28-date Live Nation tour with Mary J. Blige go for $500.00. Anti-trust laws prevent Live Nation from selling more than 10% of its own tickets, but at those prices, 10% adds up fast. For consumers, the pain could be acute...
...their perception has shifted in some way. But there's no question, you know; full on sex appeal is for the young-it is. That's nature. And so it should be.

...transfer applicant, nor do I mean to create an overly broad or unreal dichotomy between them and four-year students. I admit this theory may not bear out in every case. But it seems undeniable that as the feeding frenzy thrashes each year with more intensity and less good sense, Harvard stands to lose quickly more than a handful of NYU sweatshirts. Rather, a precious and still-resilient resource may become endangered: the supply of congenial, self-satisfied enrollees more interested in making friends than meeting recruiters or Pulitzer winners. What, then, will we tell applicants worried that the stodgy...
