"He asked me the same questions over and over," says Gitanjali Gutierrez. "He desperately sought...

Whether it was a conspicuous lack of support from the Harvard Corporation amidst the latest Faculty flurry or, more likely, a worn president, his vigor faded, no longer willing to defend himself against the barbs of an uncompromising segment of the Faculty, Summers could no longer effectively make progress on his plans, and Harvard, now rudderless, was doomed to absorb his loss...
