...falsely ascribe to their own endowment is no coincidence, but rather a jibe at Harvard’s troubled year. This is further borne out by the quotation that closes the article, where “Larry Summers” says of Yale’s president Richard Levin, “I guess Rick [Levin] isn’t quite the economist we all thought.” The implication here is that in the wake of Harvard’s poor performance of late, Summers himself is perhaps the one who is not quite the economist...

Senator Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat who chairs the Armed Services Committee, expressed only mild concern, noting that the budget "comes without a comprehensive strategy or a detailed guide to that spending...
