...straight reporting is puzzling to me. To answer her points in order: 1) The listing of DiCara's strengths was an almost verbatim paraphrase of the listing given me by his campaign manager. Grillo cleverly omits one-third of the listing: the word "liberal," which is ordinarily taken to refer to a candidate's political beliefs. 2) My listing of DiCara's appearance was not a slur, but merely an observation that he did not lit the image of the Harvard grandee.

...careful in his speech not to trample on any cherished Faculty prerogatives. Before discussing his educational ideas, he assured his audience that he didn't "mean to slight the value of research or underestimate its importance." He assured them that "Harvard students overwhelmingly refer to books as their primary source of education...

He acknowledged that organ rejection by the body was still an obstacle, but argued that "because a problem is not completely solved" is no reason to abandon a procedure.

HARVARD trained many of the scholars that the Ford grants enabled other universities to hire. The pre-eminent figure is tall, laconic Historian John King Fairbank, 64, a frequent consultant to the U.S. Government. Younger experts wryly refer to him as "King John." Starting as an expert on 19th century China, Fairbank has long argued for serious, sustained attention to the mainland. Historian Benjamin Schwartz's interests range widely, from Confucian thought to the rise of Mao; Ezra Vogel is a pioneer in the growing field of China sociology. Jerome Cohen was one of the first Westerners to become...
