...Administration pledged to human rights might well re-examine U.S. policy toward Haiti and offer refugees now arriving [Aug. 7] political asylum.

...anyone can do so with a reasonable degree of accuracy, within a community that is as interwoven and as emotionally charged as Harvard--is our first priority. But it is not our only one.
