...probably the best-paid food-services director in the country: her $95,000 salary plus generous benefits is covered by Waters' Chez Panisse Foundation, which sees Berkeley as the launchpad for a nationwide revolution. Cooper's district is also unusual in allowing her to rack up a $250,000-a-year loss. Still, she believes Berkeley's model is exportable, primarily because raw ingredients can be cheaper than processed food; the trick is to teach cafeteria cooks around the nation how to buy, store and prepare them. Meanwhile, she says, she's got more local problems to solve--like what...

...institutional tides push powerfully in the other direction, and the credential value of the degree is so high that there's no penalty to Harvard for placing the needs of its faculty over the best interests of its students. McKinsey and Goldman Sachs will come calling with $90,000-a-year job offers regardless of what's in the curriculum. Harvard's next president will face the same pressures and have a difficult time standing up to them...
