...Ever since the Kelly fiasco, the North Korean regime has been trying to scramble out of the hole the Dear Leader dug for it. North Korea's nuclear crisis-management team has reverted almost robotically to the playbook that Kim Jong ll's father developed in the 1993-1994 nuclear confrontation: the pullout from the Nuclear Non-Prolifer-ation Treaty, the "sea of fire" threats, the demand for "nonaggression" assurances and the attempted end run around Washington's North Korea policy via a prominent former American official.

Not so. The latest fiasco comes from the Harvard Business School (HBS), where Nick A. Will, the editor-in-chief of the school’s weekly newspaper, the Harbus, resigned after a meeting with Steven R. Nelson, executive director of the school’s MBA Program...
