...Pakistan should look to Afghan President Hamid Karzai as his leader. When I first went to Peshawar, I discovered that Pashtuns had contempt for Punjabis, that they speak a different language and have very different customs. Lieut. General Hamid Gul may be a former director general of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, but old soldiers in Pakistan never really retire, short of the funeral shroud.

Currently, Harvard’s other faculties are an underutilized resource. The new dean should take steps to facilitate such inter-school cooperation which would improve pedagogy, student-faculty contact, and advising, particularly in the social sciences. Such a solution not only makes practical sense, but given that FAS would pay a fraction of a full professor’s salary to get someone to teach a course, it makes financial sense...
