It is a description of Opus Dei founder Escrivá's routine by his eventual successor, quoted in a biography of Escrivá. Escrivá emphasized that others should not emulate his ferocity. But numeraries are expected, although not compelled, to wear a cilice, a small chain with inward-pointing spikes, around the upper thigh for two hours each day, and to flail themselves briefly weekly, with a small...
...filling the deanships of Harvard Business School and the Graduate School of Education, and meeting with alumni and donors in New York. He’s also tying up some loose ends at the University to ensure “a smooth transition†and to leave his successors with “as clear a sense of where things are—where, at least, I think they should go.†Summers declined to discuss who in Massachusetts Hall would be involved in the transition, and he added that he “wouldn?...
