...Kaczynski are Poland's President and Prime Minister, respectively. In order not to confuse world leaders, they have a policy of not traveling together to summits such as this week's NATO meeting in Riga. They also try to avoid appearing together at home.

(Remember, Harvard put a library office building in the middle of Harvard Square and student-group offices in a library in the Quad.) The College’s clueless attitude is best illustrated by the comment of Campus Life Fellow John T. Drake ’06 in a recent Crimson article: “Have we [Harvard] ever once not been attracted to a party because Yale...
