...Applying and being accepted to Harvard was the highlight of many overachieving lives. Why not repeat this for every organization students might be tempted to join? Those who are accepted to Harvard feel confident that they have been separated from the goats. But are they sheep among sheep? This remains to be seen. The process of winnowing may begin even before students arrive at Harvard, as some experience the rarefied pleasure of applying to one or more pre-orientation programs.

However, even if security officials say they're running down scant leads on who may have been behind the attack that killed one person and wounded five others, what little is known about it seems to rule out the kinds of suspects that logically first come to mind: jihadists, Corsican nationalists and extremist political groups.
