Harvard’s investment holdings in PetroChina and Sinopec should raise more than a few eyebrows on a campus that strives to protect any infringement of rights, no matter how small.

He also voted against one of Bush's legislative crown jewels, the Medicare prescription-drug benefit, worried that it was too costly. And for a former adman, he had a couple of badly tone-deaf moments on the campaign trail, suggesting that gays and unmarried...
