These young men will go out into the working world and do this time and again to other women and other coworkers. The administration of HBS has not given a clear signal that this behavior is unacceptable, will not be tolerated, and that there are serious penalties for continuing to act in this...
...signal is broadcast and there's no one there to watch it, will it still display a crystalline digital picture? Hollywood must wonder after last week's word from ABC and CBS. Both networks will launch high-definition television programming in November, but despite the clear need for standards, they've settled on competing ones: CBS's 1080i, "the highest-quality HDTV digital format," vs. ABC's 720P, "the right solution for a converged future."

The built-in economic stabilizers of the New Deal, vociferously denounced by business leaders at the time, have preserved the country against major depressions for more than a half-century. F.D.R.'s signal domestic achievement was to rescue capitalism from the capitalists...
