...Syria's intelligence chief in Lebanon from 1982 to 2002. The government declared that Kenaan, in despair over media reports about his interrogation by the U.N. investigators, had committed suicide at his desk. But Mehlis' 54-page report, released nine days after Kenaan's death, made only brief mention of the dead man--fueling speculation that Kenaan was coerced to take his own life or was murdered, either to eliminate a potential Alawite challenger to Assad's rule or to prevent him from further assisting the U.N. inquiry...

These credentials sound about as compelling as those of the ousted director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael D. Brown. (But when Morris discusses...
...classmates I spent time with, perhaps only one or two were “science people,” which also means they probably won’t be homeless in two years. The rest of us found our academic happiness—not to mention success—in debating social and moral issues, or in attempting amateur literary and historical analysis. In my first few weeks at Harvard, I did attend an information session about preparing oneself for med school. My parents had suggested it. To me, it was almost for old times’ sake. After returning...
