Her discomfort with the moralistic rationales for sending troops into Kosovo was reflected in Governor Bush's waffly initial statements. Once the decision to intervene was made, she and Bush supported it but felt it should have been carried out more forcefully. On the use of force, she says Bush will differ from...

It only reminds us of how powerful our discomfort about our history is, and how desperately we keep trying to fix what is still not perfect about Harvard. I am probably one of about five people who care about the lyrics to a song that about 5 percent of the Harvard undergraduate population knows.
