...students deserve entry to the best law, business, medical and graduate schools. One does not hear postgraduate admissions committees decrying grade inflation as making their lives difficult, because it is not doing so. Is Yale Law School suddenly finding itself unable to tell which Harvard students it wants to accept because everyone now has stellar grades? Is Harvard Medical School now admitting hacks that we shouldn’t trust to bandage a scraped knee, let alone perform open heart surgery? I think...

Was he intimated by the E.U. and the U.S. during the standoff...
...accept that the core competency of all the traditional firms that recruit Harvard students is in fact recruiting Harvard students, then there are some pretty interesting implications for how these companies should get themselves through this recession. First off, they should outsource all their secondary and tertiary activities—you know, like consulting and investment banking—so that they can focus all of their efforts on recruiting. The consulting firms can accomplish this by purchasing the answer keys to Harvard Business School case studies and simply changing the names above the graphs for their PowerPoint presentations.
