Former Hood Museum of Art director Timothy Rub is taking over at the Cleveland Museum of Art this week. Rub, who led the Hood from 1991 to 1999, has his work cut out for him -- the museum is in the middle of a $258 million makeover. "We've all got folders full of projects waiting for someone to review and evaluate," museum design director Jeffrey Strean told the Cleveland Free Press. Rub, who has a master's degree in art history from New York University and a master's in business from Yale, also served as director of the Cincinnati Art Museum. He started at Dartmouth as the Hood's associate director in 1987 before being promoted to director.
Goldman Sachs chairman and CEO Hank Paulson '68 reportedly ordered his top executives to stop hostile takeovers. After trouble with some takeovers in England, Paulson is backing away from hostile bids out of concern for the effect of those deals on the company's overall standing, according to the Financial Times. Paulson reportedly made $38 million last year.
