...before. In the summer of 2004, when al-Sadr's fighters battled U.S. forces in several cities, Iraqi leaders warned of a potential Shi'ite insurgency. In the end, the Mahdi Army was cornered, and Sistani ordered the fighters to go home. But taking a beating from an overwhelmingly superior force of foreigners is one thing. It is hard to see either Shi'ites or Sunnis backing down from a more evenly balanced sectarian fight, if only because the burden of history makes it impossible for either side to admit defeat...
...Your story should have done more to address product reliability. The automotive business is not just about styling. Doesn't Ford realize that the American consumer really does care about dependability? I thought the styling and comfort of my Ford Explorer were far superior to those of comparable imported SUVs. But I quickly tired of taking it back to the dealer every few months for hundreds of dollars' worth of repairs. That's why I traded it in for a Toyota 4Runner, which has been problem-free so far.

Why, then, can Yale achieve superior results with far lower compensation? Surely, Swenson could earn far more money if he left Yale. Similarly, Larry Summers could earn far more money if he left Harvard for the private sector, but Harvard does not, and should not, pay him tens of millions of dollars to retain his services...
Harvard is a not-for-profit educational institution. Surely it understands that people who choose to work at a university should earn less than their counterparts at for-profit corporations. Harvard should follow Yale’s lead. If Dave Swenson earns $1 million each year for the truly superior work he does, Harvard should be truly ashamed of paying any in-house manager eighteen times what Swenson makes...
