...third laptop that was snatched from Quincy students in the past week. One victim of the theft, Olivia A. Benowitz ’09, described waking up to find a man going through her purse. The culprit offered her a story about how he was a neighbor who was looking for a quarter so that he could call the American Automobile Association. “It was just so scary,” Benowitz said. “I can’t tell you how frightening it is to be a woman and tiny and to wake...
...week that its endowment rose 4.5 percent during the 2008 fiscal year—ending the year with $22.9 billion—and Stanford announced a 6.2 percent growth in its investments, leaving its total endowment relatively unchanged at $17.2 billion, after expenditures.

For a neighbor, you can introduce him to different people and get his resume to different companies that he would have never had a chance to find on his own. Ask about what he?s done in the past and about what kind of jobs he?s interested in, so you can go through your Rolodex and see if there are contacts that he might benefit from meeting. Also, if you?ve ever lost a job, tell him. Misery loves company...
