...circumstances in which this decision was made, it may deter many students from applying to transfer to Harvard when the transfer program is reinstated. The lack of consideration and fair treatment of transfer applicants will echo for years to come. Also, eliminating transfer classes for two years will hurt future accepted transfer students. Currently, new transfers are oriented by the “Transfer Link” program, which is run by other transfers. By eliminating all transfers for two years, this community’s existence is at risk, and new transfers will likely enter Harvard unguided by their...
...NCAA berths to be awarded to teams outside the PWR’s top 25, the Crimson was unlikely to receive an at-large bid and needed to win to get into the Tournament.

But it turned out that the lamppost-wrapping scheme was just a clever public-relations ploy mounted by 118118, a British directory assistance company, and Living Streets, a well-known charity dedicated to making...
There are more superrich than there are superyachts to go around. Damn. "Production capabilities are running behind demand," says Joel Plasco, CEO of Collins Stewart, the private banking group that sponsors the London Boat Show. But scarcity doesn't hurt this industry. The small number of yachts it builds makes it less vulnerable to economic upheaval: manufacturers need only rely on a handful of customers. "It's more difficult for luxury-goods makers who have to sell hundreds of thousands of items," Cannatelli says...
