...point very relevant to discussions over economic diversity here at Harvard. In an assessment of economic diversity, I would initially seem to be a member of the privileged elite that is undoubtedly so over-represented here. After all, I went to a private school, I reside in a nice suburb just outside a major East Coast city, and I do not receive any financial aid from Harvard. I would imagine, then, that most people would be rather surprised by my family’s rather humble background. I, and many others like me, do not attend Harvard on the largess...

...Obama has not strayed far from the strategy of the more famous senator from Illinois. (Clinton grew up in a Chicago suburb.) Clinton makes a point of appearing at small-town New York events, like the start of apple-picking season, and maintains nine different offices in her adopted state. Except for the three days each week the Senate is in session, Obama is almost religiously in Illinois, and his staff brags about the 34 town halls he has held in his home state. Clinton frequently joins Republicans like Rick Santorum, a darling of the religious right, to work...
