Modern political journalism is based on the bogus concept of neutrality (that people can be steeped in campaigns yet not care who wins) and the legitimate ideal of fairness (that people can place intellectual integrity and rigor over their rooting interests).

As we all discover sooner or later, the white-trimmed, brick beauties that we call our homes for three out of the four years we spend at college are anything but ideal. And clearly, Harvard has realized this as well...
