...Eliot JCR buzzes as FM’s picks make their unlikely rounds. Next to a pile of steaming burritos and bottles of two-buck Chuck, a rocker in a brown polyester jacket chats with a beautiful geek in suspenders. Over by the couches, a sourdough CEO with a soothing French accent sits beside a renowned breaker in sweats and sneakers. And some of Harvard’s most vocal activists—on both sides of the spectrum—talked blogs...
Dressed in a brown suit jacket, teaching fellow and Government graduate student Samuel W. Goldman doesn’t look much like a punk rocker. His curriculum vitae, which includes publications in the Weekly Standard and Wall Street Journal and a thesis-in-progress advised by Harvey C. Mansfield ’53, is not a product of counterculture.

At times, he wears the look of a visionary grown weary of waiting for the world to catch up with the future he has so long been inhabiting. Truth is, most of the time...
...like watching an aging rocker with too much ego back onstage: the old flashy moves may evoke the glory days but no longer convince. I accept that Tony Blair sincerely wants peace in Iraq and the broader Middle East, and that for the few months remaining in his premiership, he shouldn't just sit around. But his foreign-policy speech at the [an error occurred while processing this directive] Guildhall last week, followed by videolink testimony to the Baker-Hamilton commission in Washington that's tasked with somehow extricating the U.S. from Iraq, makes me think Blair's remarkable self...
