Deval Patrick’s recent success epitomizes a path that Harvard seniors choose as they struggle between helping themselves and helping society. Going from consulting presentation to I-banking reception, idealistic social studies concentrators (and similar students) suit up for recruiters, and, in doing so, set themselves up to be sold to the highest bidder.Perhaps, students hope, they can have their cake and eat it too. If they follow the socially acceptable path to success in politics or business, they can then use their lucre for good causes. The “Deval Patrick” hope is that...

With a CPA's gray suit and harried face, Black built a fan base as a commentator on The Daily Show. This HBO hour displays his grousing wit and splenetic temperament in full fulmination as he rails against the world and the heavens too. (He's no fan of the Old Testament God.) On his Washington stage, Black naturally has opinions about George W. Bush, who makes him very angry. He's also miffed at the Democrats for not finding a candidate who could defeat Bush in 2004: "It would be like finding a normal person who would lose...
