  1. CG Ups I NEVER plan to go to any of those jobs. I like exactly where I am and hopefully will retire here if they keep my *ss. I actually have a couple of friends in research and they love it. One does softlines and can’t remember what industry the other one researches. They work for one of the big boys that rhymes with Shittygroup :o).

  2. Snappy, could you please try to stay current with the memos? It’s make your own tiara now. You get some glue, cardboard, glitter, stickers and some rhinestones. Ask Cobble for the kit.

  3. RE. GATES

    Gee, the professor’s predicament is ricocheting around the world! Even here, on Brownstoner.

    Now he’s speaking about turning the incident into a “teaching moment” by making it a film.

    Here’s a suggestion: Drop by Spike Lee in Oak Bluffs this summer (no doubt you reside just a stroll away) and set it up. Spike’s even old enough to play you. (And is starting to look like you, too; just give him a cane).

    I imagine a version of the street action, Cambridge style, of “Do the Right Thing” (the best Brooklyn movie, ever), featuring doddering Harvard profs and administrators, wise-cracking undergraduates and skater kids, and “ethnic” cops with New-England accents.

    With a special appearance by President O., calling for calm, just like Da Mayor.

    Since nothing else seems to get us out of our racial quagmire, maybe satire will.

  4. “I think nowadays a CFA is far more difficult to get than an MBA”

    Dave, many of my professors and recent CFA holders who done both CFA and MBA seem to agree with you on that one.
