In a statement to The Crimson, Summers wrote that the decision to leave was “difficult” and that he remained “grateful to the thousands of students and colleagues I have been privileged to teach and work with since coming to Harvard as a graduate student 50 years ago.”

“Free of formal responsibility, as President Emeritus and a retired professor, I look forward in time to engaging in research, analysis, and commentary on a range of global economic issues,” he added.

When academia's stars mistreat people, they're "punished" with relief from teaching, mentoring, and service responsibilities. This frees them to spend more time on the more valued work of research. And dumps less valued responsibilities onto colleagues, making it harder for them to become stars.

In my experience, nursing homes these days all have cable or satellite so they leave on bland, neutral channels that blend into the background, like HGTV.

Can't decide in whose Texas voice I want to read these. Initially I thought Tommy Lee Jones but that doesn't quite feel correct.

In other words, he thinks the 2024 election was a victory of ideas. It wasn't.

He thinks he can be Trump after Trump. But cults of personality fall apart without the main character.

Thanks very much for this - very well said. I'm disappointed in hockey culture but can't be surprised given their LONG track record on these matters. A league that lets Joel Quenneville back behind a NHL bench after only a brief absence either can't get it or doesn't want to try to address it.

I love hockey, but.... I can't be surprised, given how the NHL quasi-handled the 2018 Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal, the '15 allegations v. Patrick Kane, the Kyle Beach case (Quenneville is back?), that the US Men's players & org view Trump, w/ his MANY Epstein links, as a regular president.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.
