...surprising that Wal-Mart offer lower prices than Toys "R" Us on consumables, one of the retail giant's core competencies. What should be more disconcerting for Toys "R" Us is that Wal-Mart often beats the toy company at its own game.

Once a History and Literature concentrator and Adams resident, and now an Associate Professor in the History Department, Jasanoff has only begun to make her mark on Harvard. On the way from her cozy Adams dorm room to her current office in the Center for European Studies, Jasanoff managed to earn a Masters at Oxford, a Ph.D. at Yale, publish her first book (with a second...
