Sure, but here's the rub: Public service at the political level only is akin to working in the plant where accountability is very diffuse and direct contact with the beneficiaries of policies is very rare. In such settings, the driving force for progressive legislation is interest and not duty. Just as killing the fish directly ensured a deeper sense of responsibility, serving clients directly will remind one of the injustices of society so that accountability cannot be dodged on a daily basis.

Gender and race relations. President Clinton's national dialogue on race was conducted here with some success, and incidents of racial, ethnic and sexual harassment have been increasingly rare; the arch-conservative magazine Peninsula has also thankfully disappeared. The impact of the demise of Radcliffe College remains to be seen, but Harvard's efforts to step up its commitment to women's issues is promising. Verdict: Better to even...
