...Sunday morning last month, as the exuberant but messy Spring Weekend celebration was drawing to a close, an unusual clean-up crew went into action on the campus green of Brown University. Its members were not maintenance workers but volunteers from the student body-led by a tweedy man with a professional air: Howard Swearer, 50, Brown's 15th president.

Erase Donny Allard's ninth-inning single and that's anoh-for-ten in the heart of the batting order--something not even a team that scored 20 runs last time can afford...
