...already-enacted and still-planned tax cuts for the rich over the tenure of the Bush administration, these spending cuts highlight the misplaced priorities that have characterized Bush’s regime of “compassionate conservatism.” As House Representative Sherwood Boehlert, R-N.Y., put it: “You’re denying resources to programs that serve the middle class and neediest of the needy on the eve of a projected vote to provide tax benefits and breaks to the most advantaged in our society.” Moreover, the Republican Party?...

Eliot was snooty. Lowell was brainy. Mather was jock-y. Sure, there are potential problems with racial self-segregation and intra-house homogeneity, but flattening these wrinkles with the iron of randomization was a quick and ultimately careless fix, one that has resulted largely in the social sterilization of Harvard. Unfortunately, in an attempt to pick up the social slack...
