...August, Icahn and a group of investors launched a bid to split up the Time Warner media empire (which includes Time Inc., publisher of this magazine). But Icahn could not win the support of key shareholders, who balked at his plan to oust Parsons and install a new slate of directors as a precursor to a company breakup. Parsons and Icahn talked about striking a deal, but the talks stumbled after Parsons declined to appoint two of Icahn's handpicked directors. Icahn scaled back that demand, and the two finally reached a truce last week." I don't think shareholders...
...needed to take this first step. Hopefully, now we can string together a few wins.” The Crimson will play its next five matches on the road, including three Hay Division matchups against New Haven, New Jersey Tech, and Springfield.

The eight non-conference wins were tied for the most in the Sullivan era. But a brutal road trip, which brought two difficult and costly losses, has brought the Crimson within a game of having to abandon its current “best chance?...
...their first year—but students have an overwhelming tendency to concentrate on decisions only shortly before their deadlines. It is this pressure that incentivizes decision-making and prioritizes concentration consideration over less important, if more immediate, matters. More importantly, the current schedule gives freshmen access to a slate of concentration advising and, within concentrations that facilitate it, peer advising resources that can further assist students in shaping their courses of study.
