Some of us play politicians. We hobnob at the Institute of Politics and recruit our friends to manage...
Visions of national headlines ran through my head as Harvard spokesperson Joe Wrinn denied responsibility for the incident, even though Chen Jia’er was the University’s guest.

The University insisted on looking the other...
