Couturiers were the first to be charmed. Yves Saint Laurent showed a staggering array of snakeskins in his most recent collection, which featured a line of python-printed chiffon dresses (Mme.

...take it out of the country, entirely legally, deposit it in a secret Swiss bank account, then arrange to have the bank return it as a foreign "loan"-and defy the IRS to say it is not.

I have learned in twenty-five years as a college president-sixteen of them here-that a considerable interval (not uncommonly something like ten years) is required in the administration of a university between the undertaking of a major project and its achievement. In the light of these considerations it seems to me, as I indicated to you last year, that the next change in presidents of Harvard should occur fairly soon, preferably near the beginning...
