Good grief! I can't believe the media could read so much into a simple hunting accident. The real story was how reporters went completely berserk, looking under every rock to find dirt. All the facts were in the Corpus Christi Caller-Times on Monday and the sheriff's statement released on Thursday. What fools you make of yourselves--although it was hilarious watching the circus...

Throughout this tidal wave of punditry about Summers’ resignation—punditry that has effectively dragged my university through the dirt for two weeks—professors have said zilch about Summers’ managerial failings. They have failed in defending the image of Harvard, allowing critical and inaccurate opinions to run rampant...
