...partiality, I have conducted a poll of 20 of my favorite convicts in order to gauge their opinions on baseball's severe punishment of Hernandez and Parker.

Nineteen of society's condemned eagerly offered to exchange positions with Hernandez and Parker. The lone dissenter, a short and lithe drug pusher from Minneapolis who is also a swell switch-hitting shortstop, declined...

President Bok's plan to accept stock in a professor's biotech company was rejected by the Faculty, while University Professor Walter Gilbert had to resign his post in order to pursue his private business, Biogen. Out of this period came the detailed faculty research policy that still rules today...
...said that a power struggle between the agencies would only divert attention from the need to reform the markets before they tumbled again. In fact, two of the largest financial markets last week took pre- emptive steps to lessen their volatility. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which handles trading in stock-index futures, proposed new daily limits on how far the price of a futures contract should be permitted to swing, and called for greater coordination between the stock and futures markets. At the New York Stock Exchange, directors voted to restrict futures-based program trading on the Big Board whenever...
