Tiger dragged into court
Dan Rubin — a member of the Class of 1993 who was only awarded his degree five years after he should have graduated — was hauled out of his new York office by FBI agents last week after being charged with inflating the price of two stocks, reported the New York Daily News.
Prior to his arrest, Rubin failed in his run for mayor of Lake Helen, Fla., where he resides. According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Rubin was the candidate with the least experience. Under "Public offices held," Rubin's experience was listed as "Student government treasurer while at Princeton University."
Rubin has appeared as a market commentator on FOX and CNN.
In his freshman year at Princeton, Rubin created the Princeton Times, a newspaper competing with The Daily Princetonian. He opened up Nassau Street offices, most likely with a little help from Mom and Dad. The paper couldn't handle competing with the 'Prince' and didn't outlive its first issue, a University community member recalled.
Tiger attacks man
A Royal White tiger bit into the neck of performer Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy during a show at The Mirage in Las Vegas one week ago. Some audience members reportedly thought the tiger's dragging of Roy off the stage was part of the act.
Siegfried told ABC's "Good Morning America" this week the tiger was just trying to help after Roy slipped.
After two surgeries and a week hospitalized, Roy — who suffered a stroke — is communicating again through hand gestures.
Tiger found in apartment
A golden brown, striped, six-foot-long Bengal tiger, the pet of a 36-year-old Harlem man, was found by police after neighboring tenants in the man's apartment complained of foul smells from above, Newsday reported last week.
The tiger, who shared quarters with a crocodile, was reportedly tranquilized by a police officer lowered down from a window two floors above.
The man was charged with reckless endangerment and possession of a wild animal.
"This is an 'only in New York' story," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly reportedly said.

Senior class jacket abruptly changed following accusations of AI design
Vitus LarrieuFor more than a century, Princeton seniors have donned “beer jackets” to protect their clothes during Reunions and commencement celebrations, typically with elaborate designs chosen by a class-wide contest. Now, with a selection process marred by accusations of generative AI use, the Class of 2026 may have written its own spot in Princeton history.
