Long-time Summers critic Richard Bradley, author of “Harvard Rules,” wrote that Summers’ “Washington-style politics” sealed his fate.

With Bush's bungling of the ports controversy, they are starting to say privately that they cannot afford to risk their fate on the agenda and instincts of an unpopular President who never has to face the voters again.
