...private fantasies. No, not those fantasies. Veltroni is too smart and ambitious a public servant - he is often mentioned as a future Italian Prime Minister - to write anything racy. Still, his new book La Scoperta dell'Alba (Discovering the Dawn) has an intimate feel, following a 40-something's search for the cause of his father's disappearance during his childhood. "A mother can't abandon her child, but a father can. And many do. Men are scared of other people's pain," he writes.

But Rubin said through his assistant in late July that it was “unequivocally not true” that he would resign his post on the Harvard Corporation before the end of the 2006-2007 academic year. Rubin sits on the presidential search committee, composed of all six Corporation fellows and three members of the alumni Board of Overseers. The search is expected to finish before next summer.
