<p>While I do not agree with everything in that WSJ article you referred to -- the sweeping simplications make for a good read, but reality I think is more complex -- Chicago is definitely an 800 pound gorilla in the realm of ideas, no question about that.</p>
<p>I cannot reproduce your eyeball count, however, of the undergraduate schools of the senators (I used the "search" cability on Acrobat). This is what I get (again, following your count, looking at undergraduate pedigree only):</p>
<p>Harvard: 5
Yale: 4 + "BSIA"(?)
Stanford: 4
Princeton: 3
Chicago: 0</p>
