...mystery to make a little extra money." Its main character, initially called Sherringford Hope and later rechristened Sherlock Holmes, was based largely on Bell. But Holmes' debut went almost unnoticed, and the struggling doctor devoted nearly all of his spare time to writing long historical novels in the vein of Sir Walter Scott - novels that he was convinced would make his reputation. It wasn't to be. In 1888, Holmes reappeared in A Scandal in Bohemia, a short story in Strand Magazine. An immediate hit, its hero took the foggy, crime-ridden London of gas street lights and Jack...
...prestige of the job and their sense of duty to advancing their profession. The open access movement thus does little harm to the peer review apparatus while expanding the distribution of academic papers. The publishers of print journals may be harmed, but open access makes academia thrive. In this vein, we applaud the Harvard Faculty Council’s move to make manuscripts of articles written by Harvard professors in traditional scholarly journals available online for free. The measure, advanced last week, proposes creating Harvard’s very own online system of open access, where professors could put their...
...Master Plan for Allston will translate well; Allston resident Michael Pahre pointed out in one of the letters opposing the waiver, “the green space [designated in the Science Complex plans] is in a private, enclosed space encircled by four buildings.” In this vein, we hope that Harvard will keep in mind that its impact on the environment cannot be entirely quantified by carbon emissions and solar energy production statistics. The Allston campus should improve the Allston environment in the broadest sense as well—even if this is not the type of commitment...
...seen one or two comparisons of 3:10 to Yuma with Unforgiven. These are not entirely apt. Mangold's offering lacks the blackness and absurdity of Clint Eastwood's great film. It is more in the vein of Anthony Mann's westerns of the 1950s - trim, efficiently paced, full of briskly stated conflicts that edge up to the dark side, but never fully embrace it. That's quite all right. 3:10 to Yuma reminds us that well-made westerns - precisely because they are such a ritualized and conventionalized form - have an ability to isolate moral conflicts in spare, essentially...
...decades, though, this truth was ignored by those who studied markets. Only in the past decade has it made a comeback. The landmark academic work in this vein was a 1997 paper by Harvard economist Andrei Shleifer and University of Chicago finance professor Robert Vishny (who has since left Chicago to become a full-time money manager). Their argument focused on arbitrageurs who use borrowed money to bet that small market mispricings will disappear but who can't get banks to go along with their sometimes contrarian thinking and lend them money exactly when the mispricings--and thus the opportunities...
