candidacy that has gotten me thinking. If elected, the Vice President will be the first

Harvard graduate since J.F.K. to be sworn in as Chief Magistrate, a circumstance

that gives rise to reflections on Harvard then versus Harvard now …The spectacle of the national brow being lowered and lowered, to the point of

near-Neanderthalism, thanks to the ministrations and calculations of three decades’

worth of graduates of its elitest educational institution is a sorry sight indeed.” New York Observer
