...read the Times—care when men of brilliance and distinction like West or Stone Professor of International Trade Jeffrey D. Sachs ’76 or Carswell Professor of Afro-American Studies and of Philosophy K. Anthony Appiah leave Harvard. The particular Ivy League name they bear is newsworthy in the same way as a Scottie Pippen trade.

The rescuers wept as they cradled them, limp and weightless; fire fighters could not bear to look down at the children in their arms. "Find out who did this," one told Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating. "All that I have found are a baby's finger and an American flag." That may turn out to be a poignant, gruesome icon. How easy it was to assume that the attack...
