...positive—except for the promised faculty-hiring spree (which is arguably long overdue anyway), the biggest change seems to be cosmetic. A school is a whole lot easier to sell than a division. Harvard seems to be taking the bait.Nonetheless, new money and fresh blood will doubtless improve Harvard’s engineering and applied science programs, and at the graduate level, this ought to be applauded. There’s no question that the University’s ability to attract the very best engineers to do their work in an innovative, collaborative academic environment (read: Allston...

After all, the center-left's slim margin of victory adds to already existing doubts about Prodi's prospects of keeping his disparate allies from imploding. On foreign policy, for example, he must manage a core of coalition partners who are die-hard Communists and want Italy to break openly with U.S. policy. Prodi, who served as Italian Prime Minister in the late 1990s and later became President of the European Commission, has said he wants a more Europe-focused approach than was laid out under...
