And from the actual paper: "Between 1980 and 2001, the percentage of Fortune 100 top executives with Ivy League undergraduate degrees fell by four points (to nearly 30%) while the proportion from public schools increased by 16 points (to 50%)." The paper then goes on to say that this effect may be because there are more people graduating from state schools than ivy league schools (Harvard continues to graduate approximately 1600 kids ech year).
As someone who graduated Harvard recently, I can tell you my hypothesis as to what the difference is. When most of my peers graduated they either went on to become consultants (a nice pay-check + world travel), graduate school (both professional and academic), or investment bankers (really nice pay-check). A few became newspaper reporters, governmental employees, or started working at a large publicly traded corporation, but these things were not the norm.
Also, though there are some rich (and very rich) kids at Harvard, there are also poor and middle class kids from public schools. Harvard's financial aid is good that you can afford to go if you are admitted. They even give you money to buy winter clothes if you can't afford them. But it's so much fun to stereotype, isn't it?
Maybe I'm reading the bill wrong but it seems to give "Copyright Owners" the right to impair illegal trading of their files. While large corporate copyright owners would obviously benefit the most from this bill it seems as if a single artist who retains the copyright to his music would be able to enact his own impairments if he is protecting his own copyright. He just has to be careful to follow the letter of the law.
It looks a bit like government condoned vigilanteism to me.

Gould taught every class until the bitter end. He grew visibly weaker and frailer by the day.
Still he taught.
I will never completely understand Gould's scientific impact, but I will always admire his dedication to his students.
