...years ago last week, another adamant Likud leader, Menachem Begin, signed a peace treaty with Egypt and embraced his foe, Anwar Sadat. At a meeting of Israel-bond volunteers in Washington commemorating that breakthrough, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel movingly evoked the dilemma felt by many Jews. Wiesel, a survivor of the Holocaust, warned against allowing frustration over the absence of peace to be translated into disunity.

Among those whom Harvard has neglected (at least thus far) have been Anatoly Shcharansky, Nelson Mandela, and Elie Wiesel. Fifty years ago Harvard honored actual Nazi leaders.
