...Turns out, Harvard is a crucible: We throw 1,600 of the world’s brightest, most dedicated, least sleep-dependent young adults together, then crank up the competitive heat, and the impurities burn off.

Dressed in a T shirt and sporting a head of unruly, curly hair, he was photographed in front of Beijing's main railway station before he departed on a trip to Beidaihe, the seaside resort to which Beijing residents flock to beat the oppressive summer heat in China's capital. Surf's up, dude. The audience of 150 students laughed as Geithner, grinning sheepishly, accepted the photo...
