During half of the years in the 1977-to-1990 tenure of the incomparable Peter Lynch, the fund recorded gains of more than 30%. To some of the company...

While restrictions have undeniable drawbacks, they have become a necessary evil. In order to minimize their deleterious effects, some easy fixes should be made so that the system of restrictions does not unfairly treat those who genuinely need to eat at River dining halls.Interhouse restrictions have been implemented across campus...
...families and subjecting them to physical, mental, and sexual abuse, according to international human rights organizations and local activists. Every night, thousands of children stream into northern Uganda’s major cities—like Gulu—to spend the night and avoid the LRA. At the peak of the exodus, some 40,000 children walked into Gulu every night, according to Human Rights Watch, a non-governmental organization.
