...piece of President Bush's economic plan, ending the tax on dividends, is getting the silent treatment from what is typically a core source of support for this White House: the business world.

The success of the freshman seminar program is a sure sign that students and faculty alike thrive in the small classroom environment that nurtures creativity and fosters debate. Why not extend such a program to senior spring...
...allowed Baker Professor of Economics Martin S. Feldstein ’61, since he began teaching the class in 1984, to use Harvard’s only introductory economics course as a forum to vent his personal views.
