Towards the end of a conversation I had with another Harvard grad and former Marshall Scholar, he remarked, "You spend four years at Harvard and then the rest of your life clinging to it." He recounted the challenges of being caught between living up to the Harvard name and constantly playing it down to his non-Harvard colleagues. "The less you think about your Harvard legacy, the easier it becomes to cooperate with people with a variety of backgrounds," he continued.

...turn to a leader of less national experience such as the rough-and-tumble grassroots organizer Silvan Shalom or the feisty party spokeswoman Limor Livnat. Either way, Barak clearly knows he has a better chance against any Likud candidate other than Netanyahu. Sharon certainly has higher negatives against his name than Netanyahu - no mean feat in light of the fact that the former prime minister is widely loathed even in his own party, after leading Likud to its worst electoral showing in decades last year. The role of Sharon's provocative visit to the Temple Mount last September in sparking...
