While we certainly hope that Senator Kennedy will continue to serve in the Senate for many years to come, his cancer prognosis is grim: although the seriousness of his malignant brain tumor remains unclear, the survival time typically ranges from one to five years. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that Senator Kennedy’s deteriorating physical condition may make this Harvard’s last opportunity to award...
