Daily Editor Eliza Shapiro reports from the Economics Forum today that wasn’t this Economics Forum.  “Macro people think they know everything about everything” the man seated behind us at this afternoon’s Earth Institute-sponsored “Can We Save the World Economy?” lecture grumbled.

White House Bureau Chief James Downie resumes his duties. Normally, I’ve tried to begin these dispatches with a semi-relevant segue.

Examiner.com (no relation to The National Examiner as far as Bwog can tell) recently got a “feel for the current state of undergraduate education in America’s largest city.”  The website has a column about their trip to Columbia, full of delightful vagueties.  Some highlights: “[T]here’s never been a better time to live and learn in […]

Gayava (helpfully spelled out as “The Columbia Barnard LGBTQ and Allies! Jewish Student Group”) will be having cupcakes from Magnolia bakery (frankly overrated in Bwog’s opinion), hot apple cider, and… Hookah!
