...Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences (DEAS), apparently outed yesterday when Harvard’s seasonal thank-you notes to them were inadvertently sent to a list of Boston-area DEAS alumni. The notes suggest that Microsoft CEO Steven A. Ballmer ’77 and Compass Advisors Partner Stephen M. Waters ’68 had donated to the DEAS’s Challenge Fund, a fundraising initiative launched in 2002 to subsidize the development and expansion of the division. The notes also provide a rare window into the inner workings of efforts by the Harvard development machine...
...University’s preference to sell its holdings only for financial and not political reasons, the CCSR advised divestment because of PetroChina’s strong affiliation with its parent company, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC).

"We were in shock, but those were our marching orders," says the supervisor, who felt that the Justice Department was rushing to indict before...
...brother reckons that the best piece of coaching he ever received came from an affable bloke called Bill Wawn, who in the early 1980s in Sydney looked after a team of useful teenaged cricketers. Padded up and nervous one Saturday afternoon, my brother and his batting partner were about to head out to the middle to chase a challenging target when Bill sauntered over. "All right, boys, no silly buggers," he said. "But if the ball's there to be hit, lay the wood into it." And that was it. Short. Simple. Kind of funny in a way that...
