Feature stories:

Yalies Who Rock
by Jake Halpern ’97

Revamping the MBA
by David Leonhardt ’94
For years, Yale’s School of Management has struggled to make its mark. Now the school is trying to leapfrog the competition by giving business education an overhaul.

Looking for Lady Jane
by Bruce Fellman
Lady Jane Grey was queen of England for nine days, and lost her head because of it. No portrait of her from life was known to exist—until this March, when a British historian claimed he’d found one at Yale. But the controversy is only beginning.
