<p>Just thought id give a shout out to big Larry, since it seems everyone wants to vilify him as a racist, sexist, "sloppily eating" (read the book 'Harvard Rules') establishment bigot. </p>
<p>We love you Larry! And never want to see you go!</p>
<p>Ethioman-How is "Harvard Rules"? I got an advanced copy, but I got kind of lazy, and I guess it's now not so advanced. Is it worth the read?</p>
<p>I'm sure H officials were happy with the way he rocked FOX news this evening.</p>
<p>Did you note that the author, who, not long ago, changed his last name legally from "Blow" to "Bradley", is a Yale graduate and PhD dropout from Harvard?</p>
<p>Its interesting how his "searing" depiction of the autocratic Summers is being supported (or at least openly discussed) by the current debacle at Harvard. Probably Summers himself with that NBER comment was the best thing to boost the sales of this book -which probably would have had little noteriety.</p>
<p>edit: this is the same guy who was the senior editor at George who was embroiled in some sort of controversy over an unauthorized JFK biogrpahy.</p>
<p>Get ready for Byerly's "attack the messenger" routine. It is step 3 of his MO.
LOL</p>
<p>I take it things are slow over on the Princeton site today, alpha!</p>
<p>Attacking another messenger Byerly? With 25,000+ posts you know things are never quite slow there (especially when you and your alias - Menza - are trolling over on an hourly basis, much to the dismay of its inhabitants). One need only to look at your profile's history to see that P is one of your preferred hangouts.<br>
By the way, how many names do you use?</p>
<p>Blow... what a great last name.</p>
<p>haha yeah i read that article in the new york times</p>
<p>the guy who wrote this book is a real piece of work - releasing an unauthorized biography of a dead man after signing a confidentiality agreement? Gimme a break.</p>
<p>LARRY SUMMERS you are awesome</p>
<p>Dick Blow ... I think I'd change my name too.</p>
<p>He probaly got teased unmercifully at Yale. </p>
<p>Probably helps explain, psychologically, why he turned out like he did!</p>
