Michael K. Deaver, who was deputy chief of staff to former president Ronald W. Reagan, will be lending his advice to Harvard students next week as one of the Institute of Politics’ (IOP) fall visiting fellows. Deaver, who will be on campus from Oct. 24 to Oct. 27, was one of Reagan’s closest aides during his years as the governor of California and as president of the United States. Deaver is currently the International Vice Chairman for Edelman Worldwide, a public-relations firm. According to IOP director Jeanne Shaheen, the IOP selected Deaver...

The American people persist in voting for political demagogues who promise them continued services for lower taxes.

Government is society's means to collectively address problems that are too large or costly for individuals to handle. In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve.
