Yeah.

I am very laudatory of Harvard University.

I've been at Harvard since 1984.

I think it is a wonderful place to work.

I... There has not... I have...

in the various positions I've taken, particularly with respect to this book or all my other books, what has Harvard University done?

Harvard University has done nothing but provide support, sustenance, encouragement.

I think that people...

get down on Harvard University.

I would say to anybody, imagine the following.

Imagine that the ethos of Harvard University became the governing ethos of the United States overnight.

Tomorrow, we would wake up in a much better United States of America.

I, you know, I have...

I've been supported by Harvard University.

I think well of Harvard University.

That's not to say that I don't have criticisms of it.

But by and large, Harvard University, more than by and large, overwhelmingly, it has provided me, and I think it overwhelmingly provides my colleagues with a work setting in which they can do their work without fear.

And that's a good thing.

Are there certain aspects of Harvard University about which I'm critical?

Yeah, sure.
