...eyes of mother and father, they stop attending classes and flop as students. But most of them simply don’t get what they should be getting out of college—the rigorous pursuit of liberal arts—because they can’t escape the r??sumé padding of their earlier years. They continue to take courses they’re not really interested in and they participate in activities they find dull because these are the ways to land jobs at Goldman Sachs...

As they submit their r??sumés in droves, Harvard students only sheepishly admit their interest in finance, repeatedly avow not to “sell out,” and abjure any attraction to filthy lucre.

...Neanderthal man may now have a new nickname: “Ginger.” Some Neanderthals had red hair and pale skin, according to recent research conducted by Holger R??mpler, a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Evolutionary and Organismic Biology, and a host of international colleagues. R??mpler and his collaborators extracted DNA from the bones of two Neanderthals, a 43,000-year-old Neanderthal from El Sidrón, Spain, and a 50,000-year-old from Monti Lessini, Italy. Looking at the cells of the Neanderthal bones, the researchers discovered a specific...
