...countless combinations. Since the immigrant waves in the '50s and '60s, European nations have been looking for different ways to blend different people of different cultures into successful, peaceful societies. All had the same goal: a society that gives equal opportunity and equal respect, regardless of race, creed, color or faith. Forty years on, that society still doesn't exist.

As I was sitting (next to Fabio!) at the runway show of menswear designer John P. Bartlett ’85, each of the models might well have been the paradigm of a Harvard male, stepping out the door of his final club.“It’s very much about the Ivy League,” Bartlett...
