"The market itself doesn't have a need for this much space," says Richard Leone, president of the Century Foundation and a former chairman of the Port Authority.

...whisper-quick fragments, the scenes he has experienced on the streets of Lhasa, then and now. Like many a romantic tourist, Barnett knew little about Tibet when he arrived in Lhasa in October 1987 and suddenly found himself witness and even party to a violent uprising against Chinese rule.

His claim that they “introduce the rule of the less wise over the more wise, of students over professors” must appear odd in light of recent events. Surely Mansfield disapproved of the Faculty’s (i.e. the “more wise”) pushing out President Summers over the objections of the students (i.e. the “less wise”)?
