In its December issue, Boston magazine will be publishing an investigation into the Harvard AIDS scandal, in which tens of millions of dollars in AIDS relief was held back while Mass Hall attempted to seize control of a federal grant won by the School of Public Health. As reported earlier by the Boston Globe, dozens of HIV-infected Africans died as a result.
Even before its issue has hit the stands, Boston has published documents related to the scandal on its website.
If you have a high tolerance for bureaucratic doublespeak, I encourage you to read them. Or wait till the article comes out, then read the documents.
To my mind, this is the most important and disturbing story of Larry Summers’ tenure at Harvard, because it was a matter of life and death, and death won.

Is this the article that (you had said in a post several days ago) the Harvard administration is so worried about that they have offered briefings in advance of publication? Or is there still an article in preparation on the lawsuit regarding the Harvard-Russian economics scandal?

Yes. And yes.
