...resting-place for the dead, and a vibrant park-ground for the, well, non-dead. Over the years, the cemetery has become the home turf for some of New England’s best and brightest, from Massachusetts senator and vocal abolitionist Charles Sumner to 19th century landscape painter Winslow Homer. But even with all those skeletons lurking below, the cemetery’s well-manicured lawns and gravestones make the place more sedate than scary. But it’s still the perfect destination for a late fall Halloween stroll. And if you’re so inclined...
This isn't to say that ethics-driven investing has to crimp your bottom line. Consider Winslow Green Growth, a small-cap fund that, as its name implies, specializes in globally eco-friendly companies. Winslow has returned an average 16.39% over the past five years, according to Morningstar, beating both the average SRI fund and market benchmarks like the Russell 2000 growth index and the S&P 500.

From Oct. 24-Jan. 18, their labors will be on display in "Americans in Paris, 1860-1900" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The 100 oil paintings by 37 mostly Impressionist painters have already wowed crowds and critics in both London and Boston. The exhibit ranges from portraits to cityscapes to glimpses into...
