I feel sorry for his wife. An article in the Baltimore Sun a while back indicated that she had encouraged him to apply, and he submitted his CV on the last day of the search. I imagine she saw talents in him that would be good for the school. But a substantial professional shift requires a recognition of, and respect for, a different culture. For whatever reason he just didn’t get that. These days pretty much the only seekers of a presidency who can say whatever they want are those going after the highest office in the land . . .
