    Madam President.

    The NYT reports that Harvard plans to name its first female president.

    Well, it's about time!

    And very kewl that a woman is likely to succeed Larry Summers, who stepped in it big a few years ago when he commented that innate differences between men and women might be one reason fewer women succeed in science and math careers.

    Sheesh, and I had actually respected the guy.

    So I wonder how good the good Dr. Faust is at math? Good enough to be Secretary of the Treasury -- which has gone 218 years without a woman at the helm, compared to Harvard's 371?

    What would Larry say?
