...after the fact. Perhaps now is also an appropriate time to consider the types and sizes of events hosted by the HCC. Is Harvard an institution best suited for smaller venues? Last week, Harvard Students for Israel brought over 450 students to see the Fools of Prophecy concert at Pound Hall with minimal funding from the UC—a smashing success by all accounts. Perhaps better support from University Hall is the answer. At other schools across the nation, university administrations themselves fund upwards of $100,000 for concerts for the student body, and as the Harvard State Fair...
Fidelity Investments remains the 800-pound gorilla of the mutual fund world, with $1.1 trillion of assets under management. But fund companies like Vanguard and American Funds are growing faster, which is why Fidelity this week intensified its makeover by replacing the manager of its most visible fund, the $52 billion colossus Magellan. Market-lagging Robert Stansky, who had headed the fund since 1996, has been replaced by Harry Lange, former manager of the Fidelity Capital Appreciation Fund...
Cambridge’s popular vintage store, The Garment District, could easily be mistaken for a drag show dressing room. Or RuPaul’s closet. But a soap factory? Probably not.

The walls have long since been covered in fuchsia paint and Led Zeppelin posters, but according to the store’s co-owner, Brooke Fletcher, the building is “the last of its kind...
...estimates the increased discount on generics would save another $300 million, but outside experts such as Stephen Schondelmeyer, a professor of pharmaceutical economics at the University of Minnesota, predicts it'll end up being "one of those penny wise, pound foolish decisions." That's because generic drug companies, which have far smaller profit margins than the brand-name firms, warn that the increased discount would squeeze them out of the Medicaid market, leaving the brand-name manufacturers-which can more easily absorb a rebate increase-to cash in when the federal program has to buy the higher priced drugs from...
Spreading a message of peace from Israel, popular band The Fools of Prophecy rocked Harvard Law School’s Pound Hall in a concert on Wednesday night. To host the show, Harvard Students for Israel (HSI) collaborated with Israel at Heart—an organization that travels throughout North and South America and Europe to promote the well-being of Israel. The show, the first of 11 on the band’s North American campus tour, marked HSI’s first “cultural event” of the year, according to Amy M. Zelcer...
