It doesn't say he didn't get a bonus, but that it was "downsized." Of course, that makes it even worse. (It's hard to imagine he got no bonus at all -- that's inconceivable on Wall Street.)
 

sh!t happens.

That's awesome.
 

those things happen sometimes. Human frustration leads people to do silly things. I remember, many years ago, a very famous professor in William James sprayed painted prophanities on the walls of his empty office as he vacated it after he was turned down for tenure.

As it turns out the Professor went on to become a celebrity in his field and probably should have thanked his colleagues at Harvard for turning him down because this freed him to spend time in more productive ways than he had been previously in William James.

Sh!t happens at Harvard, indeed.
 

"The controversial advertising device many accused of invading the privacy of Facebook users will eventually be a good tool, says Facebook founder and chief executive officer, Mark Zuckerberg.

In his first interview since controversy broke out over the ad device, called Beacon, Zuckerberg tells correspondent Lesley Stahl that it is just a matter of time before he gets the idea right for Facebook.

Zuckerberg’s interview will be broadcast on 60 Minutes this Sunday, Jan. 13, at 7 p.m. ET/PT."

7.01pm. I too remember Stanley Milgram. Smart man. Turned down twuice at Harvard, first when he applied to the PhD and then for tenure. He was eventually accepted for PhD studies, after they made him do a lot of additional coursework.

Who knows whether the stress of working at Harvard contributed to his heart problems. One of those attacks eventually took his life at 51. Who knows whether his interest in the harmful effects of mindless obedience to authority was inspired by his personal experiences at Harvard.
 

someone should write a book examining what became of the professors who were at Harvard's Psych department at the time Stan's was turned down. I wonder whether any of them ultimately achieved Stan's success.
 

I love it!
 

The only tragedy with Milgram was that he left two little orphan girls and a widow. He was truly idiosyncratic. I remember he chose to publish a groudbreaking study in the first edition of a pop-psych magazine. A way to give the finger to his professional colleagues. That first edition of Psychology Today is probably a collectable now, worth quite a lot.
 

Dear STANding EAGLE:

What did Stan know, really?

btw, nice article in the Times Magazine. Do YOU want to be good?
