...years, AIM was a fabulous growth story, attracting more than 2,500 companies from around the globe - and brickbats from jealous rivals, especially in the U.S. One top official at the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, Roel Campos, even likened it to "a casino." But in the first eight months of this year, only 85 companies listed on AIM, compared with 201 in the same period a year ago - and almost twice as many have dropped off it.

Yet here it stands undefeated. Can Cornell sustain a winning streak this way? I don’t think so, not against the Crimson at Harvard Stadium at least...
...There really is nothing to look forward to in this game. Penn is a mediocre team that was fortunate enough to play Dartmouth in its first Ivy League game and so now it sits in a tie for first place in the Ancient Eight despite having a 1-2 record. Now the Quakers are fortunate enough to play Georgetown in a game that means nothing other than a confidence boost for Penn...
