...that Harvard is a rather good employer when wages and benefits are compared to those offered on a regional or national level. Unfortunately, PSLM rhetoric continues to demonize the Harvard administration. In their imagery, every administrator picks up his hotline to Lucifer before making labor decisions. (Hello, dark lord, your command? Cut wages? Right away.) For PSLM, perhaps the closest analogs to the members of the Harvard Corporation are ringwraiths...

In the first of a Tolkien film trilogy, director Peter Jackson lays out the Middle Earth adventure with epic brio. This solid, often stirring version stops just this side of enthrallment. But then, the grand journey has just begun...
