Outgoing University President Lawrence H. Summers has pocketed a thank-you note from an unlikely ally in the Bush cabinet: Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, who praised the former Clinton administration official for supporting the military's Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program at Harvard...
Rumsfeld and Summers, who was Treasury secretary under President Clinton from 1999 to 2001, have served as cabinet officials in different administrations for opposing political parties, but the two have a lot in common.
