Facebook exec ducks questions about IPO debacle

reuters.com — BOSTON (Reuters) - Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg spoke to Harvard University students in her first public appearance since the company's disappointing initial public offering, but refrained from addressing the controversy around its messy, glitch-plagued debut.
