It is not the efficient outside world, where open, honest talk is not only encouraged, but is essential because the greatest danger is that something will be left unsaid, not that something unpleasant will be uttered.It is in this light that I offer this modest helping of eminently practical rules for the coming Harvard University President to obey. Follow these, successor to Summers, and you will live out a happy and unmolested presidency...
