  • PHILISTINES in the BOOKS of KINGS* Seymour Gitin W. F
    PHILISTINES IN THE BOOKS OF KINGS* Seymour Gitin W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research, Jerusalem 1. Introduction The Philistines have long been of interest to students of the Bible. Although extra-biblical texts – including Egyptian, Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, and Greek sources – provide a number of important insights into the history of the Philistines, evidence that could address in detail questions relating to their origin, their historical, cultural, religious, and economic development, and their ultimate fate has only come to light in the last half-century as a result of archaeological exca- vations. Most importantly, archaeology has shed new light on the role of the Philistines as one of the chief protagonists in the history of biblical Israel. The Philistines, Philistia, and its cities are mentioned a total of 422 times in the Bible, but only 18 of these references occur in the Book of Kings, and these mention only the Philistines and three of their five capital cities, namely, Ekron, Gath, and Gaza. This indi- cates that in stark contrast to other periods, they played only a minor role during the period covered by the Book of Kings – the period of the United and Divided Monarchies that spanned from the 10th through the 8th c. BCE.1 Even though these 18 references offer only a * I wish to thank Edna Sachar for her careful reading of the text and to acknowl- edge the following credits for the illustrations: Figs. 1–2 from the Collection of the Israel Antiquities Authority/photos © the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Figs. 3–5, 13 courtesy of the Leon Levy Expedition to Ashkelon; Fig.

  • The Watershed Events of 2000
    CCC-Peltz 1 (1-44) 3/12/01 6:47 PM Page 13 1 THE WATERSHED EVENTS OF 2000 Julian Robertson of Tiger Manage- ment and George Soros of Soros Fund Management had long been rec- ognized as the great hedge fund managers. For many years, Soros had been the largest hedge fund manager as determined by assets under management; but in 1998, Robertson’s assets overtook Soros’s. At their peaks, both had assets of about $22 billion. Both men had long and successful track records. Soros started his fund in 1969 and Robertson in 1980. Both evolved into global macro managers—those managers who take advantage of opportunities around the world and invest in a variety of instruments including stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, and futures, and typically take large leveraged positions. By midyear 2000, the situation had changed drastically. Robertson had retired and Soros had significantly changed his organization and fund objectives. TIGER UNRAVELS I met Julian H. Robertson Jr. for the first time in August 1998. We had breakfast in his office on the top floor of 101 Park Avenue. He fit the image of the Southern gentleman that I had heard about so often.

  • No Bull: My Life in and out of Markets Michael Steinhardt
    To purchase this product, please visit https://www.wiley.com/en-bb/9780471660460 No Bull: My Life In and Out of Markets Michael Steinhardt Paperback 978-0-471-66046-0 December 2004 Print-on- $22.95 demand DESCRIPTION When the official history of twentieth-century Wall Street is written, it will certainly contain more than a few pages on Michael Steinhardt. One of the most successful money managers in the history of "The Street," Steinhardt far outshone his peers by achieving an average annual return of over thirty percent-significantly greater than that of every market benchmark. During his almost thirty-year tenure as a hedge fund manager, he amassed vast wealth for his investors and himself. One dollar invested with Steinhardt Partners L.P., his flagship hedge fund, at its inception in 1967 would have been worth $462 when he retired from active money management in 1995. No Bull offers an account of some of the investment strategies that drove Michael Steinhardt's historic success as a hedge fund manager including a focus on his skills as an industry analyst and consummate stock picker. He also reveals how his uncanny talent for knowing when to trade against the prevailing market trend-a talent that was not always appreciated by several erstwhile high- profile clients-resulted in many of his greatest successes. Here he provides detailed accounts of some of his most sensational coups- including his momentous decision, in 1981, to stake everything on bonds-and his equally sensational failures, such as his disastrous foray into global macro-trading in the mid-1990s.

  • Educational Endowments and the Financial Crisis: Social Costs and Systemic Risks in the Shadow Banking System a Study of Six New England Schools
    EDUCATIONAL ENDOWMENTS AND THE FINANCIAL CRISIS: SOCIAL COSTS AND SYSTEMIC RISKS IN THE SHADOW BANKING SYSTEM A STUDY OF SIX NEW ENGLAND SCHOOLS CENTER FOR SOCIAL PHILANTHROPY TELLUS INSTITUTE 11 Arlington Street Boston, Massachusetts 02116 617.266.5400 $ $ Executive Summary Educational Endowments and the Financial Crisis: Social Costs and Systemic Risks in the Shadow Banking System A Study of Six New England Schools Over the last two decades, wealthy colleges and universities placed an increasing share of their endowments into high-risk, high-return, largely illiquid investments. During the boom times, this so- called “Endowment Model of Investing” generated impressive financial returns. Then came the financial crisis, and in the space of a year, investment losses destroyed tens of billions in endowed wealth at colleges and universities, up to 30 percent of endowment value at some of the wealthiest schools. Mounting endowment losses have been used by college administrations to justify some of the severest austerity measures in a quarter-century: deep budget cuts, diminished endowment payouts, staff layoffs, and other substantial reductions in force and benefits. The hardship caused by these measures has rippled out in the form of lasting job loss, stalled construction projects, and local business downturns in college communities that used to be secure havens of regional employment and economic resilience. How did universities, once careful stewards of endowment income, get caught up in the Wall Street-driven financial meltdown? Did our higher education institutions, like America’s big banks and financial companies, take ill-advised risks chasing speculative returns? Educational Endowments and the Financial Crisis: Social Costs and Systemic Risks in the Shadow Banking System looks at what happens—and who suffers—when universities embrace high-risk investing.
