As president of Harvard, Lawrence Summers has a radical agenda – transforming the very nature of the way one of the world’s great universities does business. “Even if Summers were a guileful and calculating figure with a hidden agenda of drastic change, he would have a tough row to hoe. But he’s not: he’s a blunt and overbearing figure with an overt agenda of drastic change. It should come as no surprise that Larry Summers is not quite as popular a figure as his gracious predecessor was.”
