Etchemendy echoed that sentiment, saying that while “it is flattering that my name is mentioned in connection with the Harvard presidency,” he has “no intention or desire to leave my current position, which I believe is the best position in higher education.” Though the statement leaves one wondering whether Etchemendy would rather be Stanford’s provost than Stanford’s president, his denial also leaves little wiggle room...

The tribal leaders who've gathered under his banner, about 40 in all, echo the sentiment, which seems sincere enough even if other motives have factored into their decision to take up the cause now, three years into the insurgency. The U.S. is simply glad that the enemy of its enemy is now a friend. MacFarland acknowledges that the reasons Sittar and other tribal leaders have for cooperating...
