...days after the Securitas job, there was a copycat raid in Belfast, where a gang held a bank employee's wife and child hostage while they rifled the safe. But don't expect all this to start a trend. Among villains, bank raids are old hat. The tricky thing about robbing banks is, you have to actually go somewhere (risking witnesses and closed-circuit-television cameras) and steal things that have a real weight and presence, like jewels or money. These days, it's easier and safer by far to sit in some semitropical Margaritaville, fire up the laptop...
...final game at Lavietes Pavillion for the Harvard women’s basketball Class of 2006, Princeton used an 18-0 run in the first half to pull away early and coast to a 69-57 win on Saturday night. In what has been a season-long trend for the Crimson, Harvard (10-14, 6-5 Ivy) fell behind early in the first half against the Tigers (18-6, 9-2) and never recovered to maintain any kind of offensive rhythm. The first half was a disaster for the Crimson, who found itself stuck at four points for over seven...
...according to a recent survey conducted by the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education (JBHE). This represents approximately one percent of the total number of economics professors at these schools. Twelve years ago, a survey of the same universities found 11 black economists. Harvard is no exception to the trend, with Caroline M. Hoxby ’88 as its only black economics professor. Prejudice against black economists does not seem to be at the root of the problem, according to the study. JBHE data reported that the low number of black economists at the university level...
...most disappointingly, there has hardly been a response to this growing trend of hate directed towards Muslims on campus. Even after Farid requested that a community advisory be sent out to inform the campus about her assault, the College did nothing. Dean David T. Ellwood ’75 of the KSG responded with an email to his students. It is troubling that no email was sent expressing the College’s “concern for the welfare” of Muslim students...
...welcome relief, especially when combined with Scott’s brilliant technique. Organ recitals have become increasingly rare since the instrument’s modern glory days ending just after the mid-twentieth-century. The recent exodus of British organists to the United States, however, could reverse this unfortunate trend. John Scott is the latest, and the most skilled, of these renowned expat musicians. Formerly the director of music and organist at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, Scott currently holds the same posts at St. Thomas’s in New York City, perennially...
