“It’s hard out here for a Managing Editor” doesn’t have the same zing as “It’s hard out here for a pimp” but that’s what this New York Magazine profile of NYT big man Bill Keller seems to be saying. Youch (via Eat the Press).
Harvard University is ending Early Action (students can apply early in a non-binding fashion) admissions saying it favors the wealthy who don’t to compare financial aid packages in their decisions.
