These dead men’s great names present somewhat of a burden to the journalist, just as the name “Harvard” might pressure a freshman to study hard and join 17 extracurricular activities (and 23 more email lists). Certainly, each writer’s most famous accomplishments are worth writing about, but what about the fascinating, lesser known ones? What about Zinn’s plays, Salinger’s book that was made into a movie—"Foolish Heart"—and the novel that Auchincloss wrote while still at Yale...

The four-question introduction sees its heyday during pre-orientation, when wide-eyed Harvard newcomers, equipped with campus maps and crimson lanyards, use the icebreaker with as many classmates as humanly possible. Sometime during the semester, however, this practice of shameless self-introduction and curious inquiry ceases.
