...assume that Harvard is bubbling over with currency, let the Divinity School stand as a memorial to their error. For years now, income from the School's small and static endowment has failed by around $25,000 annually to cover the cost of religious instruction, and the Corporation has sweat blood over that.

They want Herzberg to pep it up to closer competition with the fat, profitable Sunday Times (circ. 1,051,626), which in the past year gained 5,000 circulation while the Sunday Trib was losing 38,000. To prove that they mean business, the Reids are spending...
