Hands, now living as a tax exile on the island of Guernsey in the English Channel, needs to inject about $200 million into the business by the summer; otherwise, Citigroup gets the keys.

The Vision Sciences Laboratory, located in William James Hall and run by a group of psychology professors, explores this very chiasm in their experiments—though their approach is slightly different than Livingstone?...

She used furnishings she discovered at antique fairs around the world to turn them into mini-museums, incorporating items like a 1930s Mies van der Rohe sofa bed, a rare Picasso foulard and green steel furniture by Italian designer Tobia Scarpa.
