Like any job search, Harvard will begin by advertising the vacancy in appropriate publications. The Athletic Department will then form a selection committee to narrow the applicants and give Cleary a formal recommendation...
Talk about spin doctors. The furor in India's Congress party over the foreign origins of its leader, Sonia Gandhi, may yet turn out to be an elaborate form of political inoculation.

This isn't as bizarre as it sounds. FDA approval would actually be for the treatment of "acute social phobia," a pathological form of shyness that's more akin to panic.
