In the same issue of Boston magazine, John Sedgwick conducts a fascinating interview with former Boston University president John Silber.

As usual with Silber, some of his remarks sound extremely sensible, and some of them sound borderline nutty.

Silber’s bottom line: “Summers has done nothing to be ashamed of, and that’s why he shouldn’t apologize. Once he apologizes, then you wonder whether he’s done something naughty.”
