What’s a Harvard Man to Do?

These
are trying times for the men and women from Harvard who follow Presidential
Politics as a collegiate sport. Four of the
last six Presidents have been Yale men. Both of the Bushes, of course,
but don’t forget both Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford graduated from Yale
Law School. And at this point, with Bush v Kerry looking increasingly
unavoidable, it’s about to become 5 out of 7!

The degree to which this fact is responsible for the deplorable state
of the nation is open to debate, but it is indisputable that the influence
of New Haven in Washington is at a historical high.

Egads! The Eli’s are catching up! Over the past 228 years 7
Harvard grads have gone on to the White House; the two Adamses, Rutherford
B. Hayes, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK (the original) and —- George Bush!
A true switch hitter, the current President is the only man to appear
on BOTH lists, Yale undergrad and Harvard Business School. Go figure…..
