...editor Charles Peters once identified the "Firemen First Principle" whereby bureaucrats threatened with a budget cut insist that the only way to economize is to cut essential services. Whenever a conflict between ethical propriety and financial gain arises, Harvard invariably announces that need-blind admissions--not $35,000 to paint "artistic" stripes on the Quad--would be the first thing to go.

He would slosh abominable messes of varnish on the surface, and pile up the pigment by incessant retouching until the images became quaking pitch lakes...
