Wherever possible, Harvard should use its celebrity status to combat discrimination and unequal opportunities. The choice to select a woman for its traditionally male, high-profile presidency would be a real and impressive step...

Zhang has shown them videos of pandas breeding in the wild--basically, panda porn. He even gave one male Viagra--which didn't work so well. "We'll never do that again," he said. "The panda was excited for 24 hours...
