...agree with Wiggin, then former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's legendary ability to pilot us past market jitters and avert major economic dislocations is something not to be praised but to be condemned. Among the doom crowd, Greenspan's decision to slash interest rates as the stock market plummeted in 2001, which fueled the last leg of the real estate boom, is seen as his gravest error. Despite his raising rates since then, Greenspan's successor Ben Bernanke is if anything even more reviled. His sin was committed in 2002 when, as a member of the Federal Reserve Board...
...With mild understatement, Kaldor says "it's very satisfying to look back" over four decades of art patronage-including, most recently, last year's video-in-schools pilot program-but perhaps his fondest memories are reserved for Puppy. It was beside its floral fur that Kaldor met Milgrom (he has three children from a previous marriage), in yet another example of life springing from art. "Well, it's a very happy sculpture.

Witnessing the birth of the new show is like nothing more than observing the evolution of the old “liberal new bias” battle cry into the newly-minted hypothesis that a liberal bias exists in fake news. If there was doubt that the show was created to overturn this perceived liberal bias in news-based humor, the first promotional...
...JSTOR and Academic Search Premier—will be crucial if Harvard’s burgeoning collection is to remain organized and accessible. Additionally, Harvard’s commitment to digitization must not waver after Verba’s retirement. The outgoing director wisely involved Harvard in the pilot run of the Google Print project, an ambitious attempt to create a free, publicly-accessible database of millions of texts. This amazing database would allow the general public to search not only the titles of books, but their full text as well. Allowing digital access to the library?...
