...fair, President Summers’ advocates say that his bull-in-a-china-shop style is exactly what Harvard needs. The rhetoric of that argument is powerful, but the logic curious. After all, Summers has repeatedly sandbagged his own agenda by igniting pointless and distracting controversies. In other instances, such as the curricular review, President Summers’ insular leadership has probably made his work less successful rather than more. What, exactly, has Larry Summers done that Neil Rudenstine could not have also accomplished, and without the trauma...

A team that goes 6-8 or 7-7 in conference, probably shouldn’t be able to get hot for three days and steal the NCAA tournament bid. It may be a little easier to accept a .500 team in league play sweeping to the title, but still it seems somewhat unfair to reward a weekend hot streak that comes on the heels of a mediocre season...

...Amin Gemayel: The people rose up. It is like with (former Romanian dictator Nicolae) Ceausescu. There is a feeling of being fed up. People feel, ?Let us die but keep the country alive.? You gain courage and determination because you have nothing to lose anymore. Syria used the logic of ?divide and rule? with success for a very long time.
