...supposed to be in Iraq by year's end. They are also awaiting eight helicopters to extend the area they can cover. Their main office in Baghdad still needs to be debugged, leaving inspectors to communicate sensitive information by note. Each day they play a game of chase, zigzagging their route to keep Iraqi officials from figuring out the chosen destination before they get there...

Presumably, we are supposed to laugh at the idea of it, as at the idea of her working for Chase, owning her own company, searching for romantic involvement, and writing a resume—all fabulously good jokes considering the bedraggled, ranting woman outside the gates of fair Harvard. The joke is further enriched by the ominous and didactic undertone that warns: Harvard undergraduates, you could end up this...
