Summer, Harvard-style, has given up its childhood role as vacation; it has even shaken off its role at lower-strung colleges as interruption.

[and] will grow more sure of itself if it accepts a responsibility in the world corresponding to its singular intellectual tradition, its extraordinary resources and its great economic power." Still, while forcefully argued, these were not the kind of electrifying words he delivered last year in Regensberg, and Vatican officials privately say they...
