  Harvard Rules...USA Today
This USA Today piece by Harvard grad Alvin P. Sanoff talks about why events at Harvard attract so much attention in the larger culture....and discusses Harvard Rules and Ross Douthat's book Privilege.

My theory: "It is seen as a way station to the American dream in the same way that Ellis Island is," Bradley says. "The idea that any kid can grow up in the United States and go to Harvard and become successful is as ingrained in the American imagination as the idea that any kid can grow up to be president."
