This week we have a variety of quotes from around the HBS campus, many related to the popular non-traditional advertising campaign in which the new BMW Z3 roadster was marketed in conjunction with the 1995 MGM/United Artists James Bond movie Goldeneye. All members of our HBS community, especially those outside of New Section H, are… Continue reading They Said What About Cool Cars?

Film Review: "Die Another Day"
Throughout the semester, we will be busying ourselves with practical questions posed by the reality of our lives: “Will there be a war soon?”, “How can we enhance firm growth? “Who on Earth will give me a job?” But today I would like to address a far more pressing issue, one that has haunted me… Continue reading Film Review: "Die Another Day"
The Intraview
Never Say ‘Never Date’ AgainBy Irina Zavina (NJ) For some reason, even a wise woman like Goldie had difficulties finding that perfect match for me. Perhaps she thought I was picky. Or maybe the “Partner: James Bond” and “Interests: Men’s Swimming, Chocolates and Salsa Dancing” fields on my classcard just seemed too stand-offish to some?… Continue reading The Intraview

Will I look back in ten years and regret having been here? Never (but then it wasn’t me who had to sit through Finance). I’ve chosen a few… Continue reading And That Was the Year That Was…
Searching the world over for my angel in black
Spending Christmas vacation skiing with my sister’s new in-laws in Switzerland sounded like a great idea, as I hadn’t skied in 12 years. And these were no ordinary in-laws; these were the extreme sportsman/lets-go-climb-some-ridge-that-has-never-been-skied-before types. I figured this activity would be the perfect mental and physical exercise for the upcoming EuroTrek. So I donned my… Continue reading Searching the world over for my angel in black
