Gotta' love it.
Ohh, this is good. What's next, a government sponsored and enabled Ponzi Scheme?
Already have this...Its called the National Debt
Friday November 13th Bernie Madoff..
Future ethicists, know thine enemy. I'm surprised colleges still bother with ethics. How quaint.
(This reminds me of seeing G. Gordon Liddy on CNN back in the day criticizing the Clinton White House for misconduct.)
I think you meant "how quant".
FTW!
Let me guess... $5000/hr?
Harvard.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Hah-vahd! *cough*
This is Harvard after all. Former home of Larry Summers.
I am Chumbawamba.
Even they threw him out..
LOL Larry was right, the stats proved it.
Not that facts ever get in the way of anyone's political biases!
Thing is, the majority at Harvard probably feel prostitution should be legal, so they'll overlook those little indiscretions. After all, nobody got hurt, right? Heh-heh...
Bye the way. You might not realize this but the clocks were turned back Saturday night and your time postings are still reflecting daylight saving. Ah we love a reminder of human complexity, memory, full moons and Halloween.
they should have ashley dupree instead
The Charter of the President and Fellows of Harvard College, under the seal of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, and bearing date May 31st A.D. 1650
Whereas, through the good hand of God many well devoted persons have beene and dayly are moved and stirred up to give and bestowe sundry guiftes legacies lands and Revennewes for the advancement of all good literature artes and Sciences at Harvard College in Cambridge in the County of Middlesex and to the maintenance of the President and Fellowes and for all accomodations of Buildings and all other necessary provisions that may conduce to the education of English and Indian youth of this Country in knowledge and godliness. L.S. THOMAS DUDLEY, Governor
it's time to start a new college with said
aspirations in reverence of our creator.
Edmund Safra - wasn't that the nemesis of famed typewriter user and cyclist Martin Armstrong?
Safracide is painless it brings on many changes.

The guest list and seating for the service were prepared by Lily. Seven hundred attended—or a thousand, depending on which paper you read—including such celebrated names as Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel, who gave one of the eulogies, Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, former U.N. secretary-general Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, and Hubert de Givenchy, the French couturier, who had been Lily Safra’s favorite designer until his retirement. No member of Monaco’s ruling family attended, a fact that was remarked on by many people, since Safra was considered the most important person in Monte Carlo after Prince Rainier.
Several weeks later, a memorial service for Safra was held in New York at the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, on Central Park West at 70th Street. Again it was by invitation only, and again not everyone was asked back to the Safra apartment on Fifth Avenue, a fact that miffed several grand ladies of the city. Among the speakers at the service were Paul Volcker, former chairman of the Federal Reserve; James Wolfensohn, head of the World Bank; Neil Rudenstine, president of Harvard University; and Shimon Peres, former prime minister of Israel.

And why oh why all these roadsign monuments comemmorating a past Israeli statesmen--
BEGIN DIVIDED HIGHWAY
Marty-- Pi is the dark matter of the universe.
I don't know what's worse Spitzer or that it's the Safra ethics center. I used to work for Edmond and I find it ironic.
I remember when Brazil devalued and Edmond stopped talking to Joseph because he didn't give him a heads up. BTW, Joseph cornered the Real options market a few days before but no one even bothered to inquire further. Ah, a real ethical bunch those Safras.
what's an endowed chair cost these days? a center?
harvard is an intellectual whore. (ho)
Upcoming lectures:
Obama on keeping promises.
Pelosi on fiscal responsibility.
Ahmedinijad on tolerance.
The Nobel Prize Committee on reasoned analysis of options.
Dick Cheney on why deficit spending does not matter as long as you have an exponential growth curve to fund your operations.
Donald Rumsfeld on how to destroy a government agency from within.
Richard Pearle on how to establish a pathway to power for the Taliban in the interests of fostering democracy.
George Mitchell on how the process of ethics should apply to those that hold the office of Attorney General.
The list could be quite long, for both sides of our sick two party political system and those that operate within it.
The previously announced schedule of speakers was scrapped when an even better group became available.
Barack Hussein Obama will now be explaining why deficit spending does not matter even if you DON'T have a growth curve (exponential or otherwise) to back it up.
George Tenet will be speaking on the subject of destroying a government agency from within (the Safra Foundation views this speaker as a slam dunk replacement for Donald Rumsfeld).
Robert Kennedy, former Attorney General of the U.S., will explain why nepotism has no ethical place in American government.
Two sides of the same iridium coin. I for one hope that the whole sorry mess can be buried under another KT layer.
Chase crumbs and blame if ya want to. You never know, you might actually catch yourself if you run fast enough and keep turning in the same direction.
I'm not a Republican partisan. My greatest disappointment in Obama (who I didn't vote for anyway) is that he has continued essentially all of the worst policies of the prior administration.
And if you know where to buy Iridium coins, let me know!
I am still looking.. Would make a great item.
I choose Business Ethics.
The American business environment has fundamentally changed following the insider trading and savings and loan scandals. Explain business ethics, and how they are applied today.
The, uh, ethics of, uh, business... can be summarised in, um, see, um, ethics are, uh, you know, the thing about ethics... AHH!
That question was not fair! That was not in the reading! I demand a new question!
I will toss the wrench here folks.... and gladly listen to what floats back.
Remember, the same thing, with the primary response would have happened if Spitzer were prosecuted under the laws of alcohol prohibition. After all, he was just for a different prohibition. How many here would react the same way to an ethic beef with Spitzer if he were busted for smoking Marijuana? I am sure that many of us may agree that Spitzer may well have been a fool for how he went about his business as the AGNY. However, if shopping hookers at the Mayflower were a barrier to public service then I rather suspect that there are far more aspiring politicians in WDC (in the area of venue and yes, quality & professionalism heh) than not.
What Spitzer did is expected for every major politician, lets be clear, since the beginning of time. At most he should be kicked out of his home by _his_ family and that's all as the current moral code dictates.
I am just looking for him to hook me up with some phone numbers!
Why trust Spitzer's tastes?

Ethics only become a problem when taken seriously.- The Cynics Book of Wisdom
Lets go to haaavard and F$#k up some smart kids!! (South Boston Accent a must)
Only good line from that movie and it applies here!!
the only way spitzer would have been violating ethics, is if lobbyists had paid for his hooker
Say what you will about Spitzer, but the boys on Wall Street hated him. That alone makes him an ok guy in my book.
