...back at M.I.T., and Henry Kissinger, who chose, because of faculty opposition, not to return to Harvard, Jeane Kirkpatrick will be returning to academe. Her re- entry at Georgetown University as a teacher and thinker will no doubt create a few ripples. Perhaps her greatest legacy will be the rebirth of the idea that after an election America needs help from every quarter...
