Bollinger, would invite Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak at Harvard, Leach responded by criticizing Bollinger??not for the invitation, but for his remarks, in which Bollinger called Ahmadinejad a “petty and cruel dictator.”“It was a low moment,” Leach said of Bollinger??s introduction of Ahmadinejad...
