economics, died Sunday. He was 94.
Actively publishing into the 2000s, Mr. Samuelson's career in economics
spanned eight decades. In 1970, he was the first American to win the Nobel
Prize in economics, the second year the prize was offered.

by the way, in term of alma mater, it is typical that
only college matters. professional training is not for mind, but for food.
interestingly, i was told that college brand matters more and more

market for advanced degree earners in mainland china. my bad. maybe i should
