can you believe this guy?

i'm still stupefied as to how this guy is still president of harvard. here's a ny times article on his remarks and here is the transcript of his little chat (finally). a taste from the article:

among his comments to a conference of economists last month, according to the transcript, dr. summers, a former secretary of the united states treasury, compared the relatively low number of women in the sciences to the numbers of catholics in investment banking, whites in the national basketball association and jews in farming.
— patrick d. healy and sara rimer, new york times

no wonder he didn't want them released. here's hoping that a vote of no confidence takes place.

for now, we can call for his resignation (like now is). write to:
