Back-Scratching
Since
Harvard Magazine plugged me, I will return the favor. In my book, I noted that the magazine seemed to become a less independent voice over the first years of Larry Summers' presidency and more an outgrowth of Mass Hall. But
its story on the Summers' controversy is really impressive—lengthy, detailed, thoughtful, balanced but unflinching. There were several moments in reading it when I thought to myself, "I can't believe they said that."
Kudos to the editors and to the unnamed author (s). Writing about the controversy swirling around Larry Summers couldn't have been easy. It's hard to see how Harvard Magazine could have done a better job doing so.
Let us hope this
glasnost continues....
