Harvard too should join in this movement and release its educational materials to the public via the web, helping to usher in the (hopefully) coming revolution. At best, this move might force the administration to reassess the importance of teaching credentials in its faculty recruiting procedures to pre-empt empty lecture halls, students having chosen to imbibe their information elsewhere online, or to prevent the world from viewing some of the almost laughably poor lecturers who grace the venerated science departments.

But after Election Day, it grew even larger. Gore teamed with economic adviser Robert Rubin to talk a reluctant Clinton into abandoning his "investments" - and a middle-class tax cut - to focus on deficit reduction.
