Instead of winning donors over with plans for a new building dedicated to cutting-edge research, University leaders changed tactics and approached them for current use gifts and unrestricted funds to sustain Harvard’s core activities in the short-term.“We felt that it is very important to have resources to make immediate interventions that will have good outcomes in the long-term,” Faust says, citing the need for greater flexibility in diverting funds.

Accurate U.S. reporting of Taliban fighters killed "strikes at the core of the enemy's perceptual dominance," he says.

"That's an essential argument in an Islamist country," he adds, "and they may start to question the whole theocratic underpinnings of their...
