...bold, straight-talking candidate, as Dean did in 2003. Edwards has said from the beginning of his campaign "it's make believe" that a president could balance the budget, create universal health care and reduce the problems of global warming and poverty.

The former provides escapist fun; the latter ostensibly enhances productivity. The fact that such a gadget is fast becoming the trendiest luxury item in the Yard is a good indicator of how overly serious—and seriously un-hip—Harvard students are. Is it any wonder the administration deemed a fun czar necessary...
