<p>I like the editorials. He posts them, people read and comment, and they die, no big deal. </p>
<p>Byerly, perhaps you could post some anti-Summers articles too, for good measure.</p>
<p>You guys might want to check out the New York Times today, then ran a pretty good article about what all CEO's and Presidents can learn from Summers' mistakes.</p>
<p>Post away!</p>

I don't see anyone posting "the same thread multiple times".

<p>Oh, if it weren't the case that a rose by any other name is still a rose. </p>
<p>Look, I'm not saying I don't like the topic. I do. But when there's already good conversation going on in another thread, why make two more?</p>
<p>Oh well. You seem set on posting every article on the topic. You might as well do it.</p>
<p>Not "every" by any means - there are hundreds. Only the most significant.</p>

<p>As Summers acknowledged, he made some mistakes. Portraying him as only a helpless victim insults him; why not accept him as he is - both the not so good, with the good.</p>
<p>Time to move on!</p>
<p>It won't be that simple, I'm afraid. Not by a long shot.</p>
<p>anothernycdad-- I think you're sort of misquoting Alex's column. Though I am not always an ardent Summers supporter, I am a frequent reader of Slack's pieces.</p>
<p>Leon,</p>
<p>I am not sure that the "right" is trying to claim Summers as their own. What the "right" appears to be doing is pointing out the hypocrisy of certain members of the institutions . . . and that the "left" eats their own.</p>
<p>There is a closing off of debate that is very unsettling, at least to me anyway.</p>
<p>I said I was amused that the far right was claiming Summers as its own, and I continue to be. The very conservative Weekly Standard identifies this former Dukakis adviser, former Clinton cabinet member, affirmative action proponent as its favorite univeristy president. </p>
<p>And what debate is being closed off?</p>

<p>Boy, if this ain't true. Still, the right is guilty of the same. Look at how the GOP has shunned Bush in the port deal fiasco. Lame duck president + divergent interests = Bush getting burned.</p>
<p>Hope springs eternal on the "far left" I guess!</p>
