Simple, direct and suffused with melancholy, the poems were carried into the trenches of World War I by thousands of "lads," few of whom knew anything of the author-just as the poet wished. A Cambridge don who shunned any mention of his verse, Housman hid behind a late-Victorian mask of colorless propriety. The flamboyant London literary scene of the turn of the century left him cold. "He was like an absconding cashier," recalled Max Beerbohm. "We certainly wished he would abscond...

Innis, was picked up by Providence police several days after he killed a cab driver with a shotgun, which he subsequently hid.

Bok himself encourages this, building an image in his annual reports and elsewhere of Harvard as a source of education and information for "real world" centers. He uses special mid-career programs and conferences to try to make the Kennedy School a training ground for virtually every middle management bureaucrat in government. He wants to direct business school professors away from...
