Unlike Netanyahu, Barak has said he has no objections to the creation of a Palestinian state. Still, he would impose limitations that are unacceptable to the Palestinians: annexing large chunks of the West Bank containing Jewish settlements; refusing to share Jerusalem. The Palestinians regard him dubiously. Senior officials recall that in the early days of peacemaking, he, unlike a number of other Israeli generals, declined to meet them.

New to the post four years ago, Lewis was scorned for randomization (in fact only partially his doing), and for mishandling the restructuring of the Phillips Brooks House Association. Lewis apparently learned something from that difficult first year, at least in regard to public relations; it has been largely smooth sailing since. Lewis's only recent gaffe was the decision to split the role of Dean of Students into three smaller posts, rather than appoint an energetic new dean. Further, the administration's generous new financial aid policy has made Harvard a leader...
