...Remembrance of Things Past. Six months later he would be dead. Davenport-Hines credits Proust, and a discussion of Remembrance of Things Past with a flirtatious male don, for winning him a place at Cambridge. Here he repays the favor with a Proustian portrait of his hero, adding layer upon layer of sometimes miscellaneous information, in vaguely chronological order. Though Proust always insisted his masterwork was not a roman à clef, Davenport-Hines shows the parallels between Proust and his fictional narrator, real figures and the fabricated ones. Born in Paris to a rich Jewish mother and a Catholic physician...
...Navarre's International Graduate School of Business in Spain. "What each wants now is to control other companies."

Even for the hundreds upon hundreds of courses available to Harvard undergraduates, it is no secret that many Harvard students are not satisfied with the many educational offerings—and rightfully so. And yawning gaps in particular sub-areas (like Continental philosophy) are only part of the problem. At the department level, the slate of courses offered reflects faculty interests in particular areas instead of a coherent vision of what a complete undergraduate education in a particular concentration ought to cover. This is not to say that departments hastily organize their undergraduate requirements; it is clear that concentration requirements...
...think that Sinopec made it very clear that there needs to be more done in terms of divestment at Harvard.” The original petition for divestment—conceived in October 2004 by Collins and Manav K. Bhatnagar ’06—called upon Summers to publicly pledge that Harvard “will not invest in any corporation that conducts business with the Sudanese government for as long as Sudan is in violation of international norms of human rights.”Around 800 students, faculty, and alumni had signed the petition by the time...
