Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 40pointsText 1Ruth Simmons joined Goldman Sachs s board as an outside director in January 2000: a year later she became president of Brown University. For the rest of the decade she
13、 apparently managed both roles without attracting much eroticism. But by the end of 2021 Ms. Simmons wasunder fire for having sat on Goldman s compensation。cohmomwitcteoeuld she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked. By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. The posit
14、ion was just taking up too much time, she said.Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful,yet less biased, advisers on a firm s board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive s proposals. If the s
15、ky, and the share price is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises.The researchers from OhioUniversityused a database hat covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 differentdirectors between 1989 and 2004. Then they simplychecked
16、which directors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departinga board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those“ surprise” disappearances by directounder the age of 70. They fount that after a surprise departure, the probability that the companywillsubseque
17、ntly have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%. The likelihoodof being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse.The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance a
18、t the firmis suggestive, it does not mean that such directors arealways jumping off a sinking ship. Often they“ trade up.” Leaving riskier, smaller firms for largerand more stable firms.But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if
19、they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outsidedirectors through tough times may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors willfollow the example of Ms. Simmons,

Should theybecome charitable corporations. Should the state subsidize them . It willhold another meeting soon. But the discussions
25、now seem out of date.In much of the world there is the sign of crisis. German and Brazilian papers have shrugged off the recession. Even American newspapers, which inhabit the most troubled come of the global industry, have not only survived but often returned to profit. Not the 20% profit margins t
26、hat were routine a few years ago, but profit all the same.It has not been much fun. Many papers stayed afloat by pushing journalists overboard. The American Society of News Editors reckons that 13,500 newsroom jobs have gone since 2007. Readers are paying more for slimmer products. Some papers even
27、had the nerve to refuse delivery to distant suburbs. Yet these desperate measures have proved the right ones and, sadly for many journalists, they can be pushed further.Newspapers are becoming more balanced businesses, with a healthier mix of revenues from readers and advertisers. American papers ha
28、ve long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads. Fully 87% of their revenues came from advertising in 2021, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development OECD. In Japan the proportion is 35%. Not surprisingly, Japanese newspapers are much more stable.The whirlwind that sw
29、ept through newsrooms harmed everybody, but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspaper are least distinctive. Car and film reviewers havegone. So have science and general business reporters. Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.Newspapers are less complete as a result. B

During the Depression and the war, Americans had learned to live with less, andthat restraint, in combinationw

37、sociated with the Bauhaus, a school of design, emigrated to the United States before World War IIand took up posts at American architecture schools. These designers came to exert enormous influence on the course of American architecture, but none more so that Mies.Mies s signature phrase means that
38、less decoration, properly organized, has more impact that a lot. Elegance, he believed, did not derive from abundance. Like other modern architects, he employed metal, glass and laminated wood-materials that we take for granted today buy that in the1940s symbolized the future. Mieshisticastesdoprese
39、ntation masked the fact that the spaces hedesigned were small and efficient, rather than big and often empty.The apartments in the elegant towers Mies built on Chicago s Lake Shore Drive, for example, were smaller-two-bedroom units under 1,000 square feet-than those in their older neighbors along th
40、e city s Gold Coast. But they were popular because of their airy glass walls,the views they afforded and the elegance of the buildings details and proportions, the architecturalequivalent of the abstract art so popular at the time.The trend toward “ less” was not entirely foreign. In the 1930s Frank
41、 Lloyd Wright started buildingmore modest and efficient houses-usually around 1,200 square feet-than the spreading two-story ones he had designed in the 1890s and the early 20th century.The “ Case Study Houses” commissioned from talented modern architects by California Arts & Architecture magazine b
