When the dean begins the next phase of his life, Harvard College will suffer a tremendous loss. There are few words we can say to thank our quintessential "Mr. Harvard" for his lifelong devotion to the betterment of a community that shapes each one of us; the best we can do is to leave this place hoping to have learned something of the values and ethic he embodies, and to act in the world as he does: selflessly, passionately, wisely...

But how do you measure the dollar benefit of brighter first-graders and an ozone layer that blocks cancer-causing ultraviolet rays...
...Stallone has finally found a model that suits him--reportedly on the cover of In Fashion. She's Angie Everhart. After dating for two months, they've announced their intention to wed--she for the first time, he for the third. Everhart, in that delicate catwalk-to-movie transitional phase, has just wrapped Jade, a drama starring David Caruso, and signed up for her first Stallone-like action role...
