In 1943, T.S. Eliot wrote the Four Quartets.

That's a quote from T. S. Eliot, a little more than 50 years ago.

PARIS April is the cruelest month, wrote T.S. Eliot at the beginning of his great poem, The Waste Land. But, if Eliot had been a professional investor who had observed European financial markets over the last few years, I am quite certain that his choice would have been August.

In 1945, he wrote to T.S. Eliot T he full employment policy by means of investment is only one particular application of an intellectual theorem. You can produce the result just as well by consuming more or working less.

But, for some men, part of the pleasure of buying sex may be the humiliation conferred on the woman involved. For others, like former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, the promise of discretion and anonymity may be the most appealing aspect of buying sex.

NEW YORK In his play Murder in the Cathedral, T. S. Eliot describes the murder of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, as a silently ordered hit. The English king, Henry II, did not need to give a direct order his knights knew what to do with somebody seen to be undermining the state.

Adding further fuel to the fire, New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer recently filed a civil lawsuit against GlaxoSmithKline for potentially misleading doctors by publicizing a favorable study of paroxetine for pediatric depression while downplaying other unfavorable trials. In response, GlaxoSmithKline made full trial reports of all studies involving paroxetine in patients under 18 available on their website.

Inspired by Harvard s success, other universities starting with Yale University and the College of William and Mary took similar action. This genuine American method, as Charles William Eliot, Harvard s longest serving president, called it, became the norm not only for private universities, but also for public institutions, such as the University of Michigan and Purdue University, and even religious institutions like the University of Notre Dame and Duke University.
