...Wild, and Got a Life”; Nick B. Sylvester ’04 falsified aspects of a Village Voice article, “Do You Wanna Kiss Me?”; Eugene M. Plotkin ’00 was indicted for a $6.2 million insider trading fiasco at Goldman Sachs.These scandals, and the Faculty of Arts & Sciences’ ousting of President Lawrence H. Summers, have made 2006 a nightmarish year for Harvard’s public relations. Yet, inevitably, 20,000 over-achieving high school seniors will try to climb into our Ivy Tower next winter, U.S. World...

...theGeorge W. Bush campaign headquarters in Austin, Texas, in 1999, policy director Josh Bolten was a low-key Washingtonian in a building full of brash Texans. He assembled a best-and-brightest team with rsums bristling with brand names like his own--Princeton, Stanford, Goldman Sachs. "He used to brag that he had all these Supreme Court clerks from Harvard working for him," recalled a campaign veteran. Bolten was happy to let others preen in meetings while he waited to make a killer point at the end. He has thrived by showing, very quietly, that...
