...components of "the big lie." Pusey says we call Harvard hopelessly bigoted. This, as it intends, summons images of Birmingham, Alabama, and Sheriff Bull Connor spitting juice from his "Mail Pouch" chewing tobacco. And of course Pusey is right. Harvard does not look like that. It wears a coat and tie, and on a broad-based scale, it is less reprehensible than some other forces in society. But racism is practiced here, in its liberal dress.

He spends so much time in offices, cars and planes, and so little time outdoors, that he almost never wears an over coat, even in midwinter. In the office he is almost always on the phone, speaking with financial executives, economists or prominent politicians. He studies practically none of the research reports churned out by Wall Street's securities analysts ? which he claims have value mainly in a bull market?but colleagues consider...
