...operative word there is "imagine." The movie can't really prove anything against him beyond bad temper and a foul mouth. Which leaves us reaching for Occam's razor, that most useful of philosophical concepts, which holds that the simplest explanation for complicated events is generally the best one. In that sense, the occurrences recorded in Hollywoodland are like the theories surrounding Monroe's death (or, for that matter, JFK's assassination); they require a lot of coincidences to fall into place, as well as the complicity of too many unreliable individuals, for them to be truly plausible.

On this point a university is different from a razor blade company. Harvard can’t bottle up the truth; misrepresentations are too easily exposed. So management is better off being direct and transparent with the stakeholders. At Harvard, the alumni-elected Board of Overseers, at least, has to buy into important changes planned by the President and Fellows...
