...University haggles over the final details in a planned $2 billion fundraising drive, Bok and other top administrators say they are trying to steer Harvard toward the future.

Havel's work depicts the idiocy of entrenched bureaucracies and the power of language to twist and distort ideas. It also highlights the unwitting complicity of ordinary citizens in the maintenance of totalitarian regimes. "Everyone is in fact involved and enslaved," Havel once told TIME. "Each person...
