...know which events history would immortalize. Was it President Hosni Mubarak's startling announcement that Egypt would hold its first-ever secret ballot, multiparty presidential elections? Was it the popular demonstrations in Beirut two days later that finally forced the resignation of the Syrian-backed Prime Minister and his Cabinet? Or did the start of something momentous come on Thursday, when Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah welcomed Syria's President Bashar Assad to Riyadh and not only told Assad to get Syria's 14,000 troops out of Lebanon but also announced to the world that he had said...

...regularly making requests of departments without using Harvard’s reporting structure, and keeping Faculty as distant from Allston planning as possible—suggests that he views Harvard less like an institution of higher learning and more like a Fortune 500 company (or perhaps a cabinet-level department). Summers might boast that his methods cut through red tape; indeed, he compared Harvard to a Ford factory in explaining to classmates at my freshman barbecue why the matter of a living wage was for administrators alone to debate. But academic inquiry requires a tenure and governance system that involves...
