...series about the Bush dynasty, and then I had this amazingly good trip to Hawaii where I met [onetime psychic spy] Glenn Wheaton, who told me about Project Jedi and training U.S. soldiers to reach Level 2 - "Intuition" - then Level 3 - "Invisibility," which I thought was such a great leap. Level 1 is, like, eat only nuts and grains for a month, and Level 3 is invisibility? It was the greatest interview of my life. All I had to do was say, "What's Level 4?"

Over the subsequent semesters, I’ve combined courses in social and political theory with the sporadic environmental offerings of other social science and humanities departments. In this way, I cobbled together a concentration that more or less worked for me. Now, looking back over my Harvard experience, I’m happy, but I fear I’m an exception. Without sufficient courses, or a clear track or concentration to follow, Harvard students with nonscientific environmental interests...
