...successors to Jiang Zemin and Co. chosen this week rose through a deliberate, meritocratic process of promotion that favors skillful politician-administrators.

They have thrown only one interception all season, and just three in the Crimson’s last 10 games, a span covering 334 pass attempts. On the year, Harvard has surrendered only six turnovers, tops in the nation...
