The homeland-security plan is another good example of how the U.S. government is too big, too slow and too unimaginative to do anything about terrorism except throw money at it. It's like watching a 900-lb. gorilla fight off a swarm of gnats with a sledgehammer. THOM WILDER Laguna Niguel, Calif...

As Wolcowitz wrote in an e-mail, “As far as I know, the question of public reports has never been discussed. The data as they exist are really not very helpful, except with some summary statistics and interpretation, and no one has prepared such an interpretive essay.” Students and faculty concerned with improving Harvard will find value in an analysis of the raw data and an open discussion of the results. Harvard ought not keep valuable information from those...
