I would like to suggest another way that the Foundation can bring a little Hollywood to Harvard. Why don't they invite Duffy Duck? Oh yea, that little varmint will pack'em in. In addition, he fits the Foundation's criteria for guests: he's black, a celebrity, and no matter what he says no one will be offended.

As they entered the last couple of laps, Harrison pulled away from Gompers, but Sheehan's gutsy kick was just enough for him to take third by the slimmest of margins...
Kearney does concede, however, that it will be difficult to emerge as a clear favorite in such a large field, which has at least three other strong contenders in addition to White. "There is a pack mentality that exists in a race like this," he explains, adding. "There are no clear means by which anyone can test the substance of any one candidate.
