All I could think with I read this was "He hasn't met our Nikki, YET"
Harvard's President Summers Sure Can Talk
I used to be a big activist, writing proposed legislation and lobbying, so where did it get me? Every once in a while I come up for air and dive back down again, "stay hid". Back to the sewing room (chicken me)

Oh yeah - Larry has pretty sharp elbows. This is not he first time he's put his foot in his mouth.
I worked at Harvard for a long time, and it's pretty typical of the kind of nonsense that goes on there. It's a strange, Byzantine, wonderful and exasperating place that has an obscene amount of money - there's no reality show on earth that could communicate it's unique culture.
I’m on the fence about him myself - his crusade against grade inflation at Harvard College was right on - and then he'll do something stoopid like this.
But in terms of using your academic position as a bully pulpit he's small change compared to a guy like John Silber (former president of Boston University.) He's a guy who really knows how to stir the pot!
