Which brings us to President Bok, the humblest president Harvard has. He's nearly always radiant. And Senator Charles Percy (R-Ill.) wanted him to be the special Watergate prosecutor, so he must be terrific.

Leading...
Scattered liberally throughout the palatial pad are some $200,000 worth of marble columns, doorways and stairs, and an ample supply of golden bathroom fixtures. Beneath the veneer of Old World elegance, the house has the very latest in electronic gadgetry: radiant wires heat up at the mere touch of a toe on a bathroom floor; an intercom system connects every room...
