Something has obviously changed since then. It's not that the number of Kennedy School scholars advising Dukakis has decreased, but that the governor has somehow fallen out of official favor.
In general, professors at the school of government love to talk to the press, love to see the phrase "Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government" in print. Some say that when people at the Kennedy School are bored, they count the number of references to the school...
