Harvard Business School may want to consider adding a case study in humility. Despite its four-year run as the top business school according to U.S. News and World Report, HBS ranked 14th for the second year in The Wall Street Journal. The Journal/Harris Interactive ranking is based on surveys of corporate recruiters. Recruiters were asked to rank business schools based on 21 attributes, including MBA students’ communication skills, teamwork orientation, and personal integrity. The University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business nabbed the number one spot ahead of the Tuck School at Dartmouth, which...
...made 11 solo foreign trips while she's lived in the White House-to Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, Latin America-and more than half of those (seven) have been in the two years since the President was re-elected.

And he hasn't updated his old dress uniform by sewing on the chevron that shows his higher rank. His superiors put in for his promotion to staff sergeant last October, and it came through on Jan. 1--six weeks after Haditha. He says the jacket's too tight, anyway...
...style. Along with the standard Eliot and Pound, students read in several languages, listen to sound poetry, and critique Expressionist art. Sweet. Although the prospect of coming up with a junior paper topic and an area of study in the one-on-one junior tutorials is daunting, concentrators often rank the class among their favorites. So stick with Lit, even though the crapshoot known as sophomore tutorial draws reviews ranging from the occasional “fantastic!” to “shitty.” Less sweet. One major reason for this is that damn literary theory...
