This decision is a default rejection of some students who may have proven to be among Harvard’s best, both for this year and many years to come, undermining the many recent admissions initiatives with the explicit purpose of attracting the strongest, most diverse, and most interesting students as possible.This move also undoes much of the progress to make Harvard’s undergraduate experience available to all. While we have made strides in improving the socio-economic, racial, and geographic diversity of Harvard?...

But Kilpatrick seems to be taking his cues more from Senators Larry Craig and David Vitter than from New York governor Eliot Spitzer: he isn't going down without a big fight. Already, the Wayne County, Mich., prosecutor has suggested that Detroit city lawyers are rebuffing her efforts to obtain key evidence...
