"I think Joe is in a very bumptious phase," responds Zelda Fichandler, producing director of the Arena Stage in Washington. "He just wants to spread that which he creates around.

Harvard can not promise to avoid "racist imperialist economic ventures in the future"--it can only hope to forego the worst of them.
