...reconstruction of New Orleans and a commitment to rebuild the wetlands of the Mississippi delta. Approximately fifty people, primarily faculty and graduate students, attended the symposium. Panelist Frederic Schwartz, a New York-based architect and a former visiting design critic at the Graduate School of Design, regretted the lack of undergraduates in attendance, saying that “when you learn, you can also help.” Diane M. Brockmeyer, a primary-care physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, said she attended the event out of an interest “in how the medical community can respond...

As the columnists preach on about all the brokenhearted undergrads mourning at the President’s feet, actual Harvard students—that is, not hypothetical ones—don’t seem to care at all. Their reaction, or lack thereof, is historically consistent with the rest of Summers’ five-year stint, during which most students only perked up their ears when the big guy tripped up in the public eye.

For instance, 24 hours before American-bound containers are loaded onto a vessel in a foreign port, the ship?s captain must send an electronic manifest of his cargo to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which checks it against intelligence reports to determine if any of the containers need further inspection. But the captain doesn?t actually know what?s in the containers. The manifest he sends is drawn from the bill of lading the original shipper supplies, which may not be detailed, or more importantly, accurate...
