Hats off to The Crimson for identifying a very important (and often-neglected) trend in both the private and public sectors today: the convergence of business and public leadership (“HBS Attracts Washington-Bound,” news, Dec. 20). This convergence is critical because many of the most complex and pressing public policy problems and opportunities fall at the intersection of these sectors, and their solution will require cross-sector convergence...
...psychological consequences is a fantasy. The flood of Iraq war veterans showing up at hospitals with post-traumatic stress disorder is testimony to that. The moral necessity to confront the terrorists is clear. But the war is going to be fought on their terms, not ours, and we are bound to be diminished-stained, perhaps irrevocably...
...those files ... which gave even the most ardent admirer of the FBI a slightly uneasy feeling [during "the trial of the eleven top U.S. Communist leaders"].

The rest is intuitive. Bono arrives with no security, takes gifts (a leather-bound volume of Seamus Heaney for Patrick Leahy, a framed copy of the Marshall Plan speech for Colin Powell) to suit his host's taste. He poses for every staff picture, and his thank-you notes are handwritten and prompt. He wears whatever he pleases. "I refuse to be anything other...
