...professors to draft legislation for the fall on the next system of general education. But the shape of that system, as speeches in the last half hour of yesterday’s meeting demonstrated, is far from clear.Two professors who have played key roles in the curricular review rose to say they were dissatisfied with the current proposal, which the Committee on General Education released last fall.Charles S. Maier ’60, the Saltonstall professor of history who served on that committee, said that the proposed looser distribution requirements should be reconsidered.“I, myself, after reflecting...
...seven times--by as many as 19 percentage points and as few as 7 percentage points. Only once did the portfolio produce a loss, falling 1.8% while the benchmark Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) world index eked out a 1% gain. On average, the UBS portfolio rose 9% in the three-month periods while the MSCI index fell 1%. That's a whupping...

Adidas profits rose 25%, to $537 million, over the past year...
