...Others suggested that the lobbyist problem will make fund raising even harder and has slowed the efforts to scale McCain's lean, insurgent campaign to the size he and his party will need to win in the fall.

While the Bush campaign channeled all decision-making through its northern Virginia headquarters, the McCain campaign has established a decentralized network of 11 "regional campaign managers," who will separately direct much...

Moreover, it is to the credit of professors and their students that historical surveys of this kind do not have to be institutionally instigated. A top-down approach to such reviews of Harvard’s dusty history is not the ideal way to conduct inquiry into the University’s past. The mandate for such forms of research and study should not derive from higher powers, such as the President’s office. Although President Drew...
