Gaghan, Baer and Baer's then 13-year-old daughter Charlotte met up in Nice. Within a few hours, they were relaxing on the yacht of a former Fatah intelligence officer. Then a representative of the Carlyle Group, the global investment behemoth, anchored next to them. "It kept getting crazier and crazier," says Baer.

When I sat down alone last Sunday at Annenberg, I spotted the behemoth that is the Sunday Boston Globe lying nearby. I wasn’t going to turn down any opportunity to seem busy in the eyes of judgmental passing freshmen, and I found a piece on a common, yet intriguing, subject of the Globe: trashing Harvard. In the opening paragraph of Christopher Shea’s article “Secret Societies: Can the Ivy League’s Big Three live down their history of discrimination?” Shea relates an anecdote about bigoted Harvard admissions...
