READER JASON STRAUSS writes from Harvard Law School to report that the law school has decided to open up to military recruiters. The memorandum from Dean Clark, which he shared, speaks in terms of legal necessities and federal funding, but I can’t help wondering if this is Larry Summers’ influence.

While I’m opposed to the armed services’ discrimination against gays, I’m also opposed to the anti-military policies of Ivy League schools, so I regard this as a good thing.

(I actually tried to call HLS to get a reaction, but spent literally 5 minutes being bounced around by a phone tree that kept sending me back to the main Harvard operator, or to a recording that the number I had selected was no good. How lame.)
