  1. I saw the excerpt below from a blog I occasionally read and was reminded of the very first consolidated Council meeting where Bernie Miller accused Jo Butler of “grandstanding”. Jo had asked questions about whether Mayor Lempert was conflicted when dealing with the University and these questions “saddened” Miller. So I couldn’t
    help inserting Jo Butler (for Elizabeth Warren) and Bernie Miller (for
    Larry Summers). It appears the rules are the same everywhere and Jo
    didn’t get the memo.

    A recent review in the New York Times of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren’s new memoir “A Fighting Chance”
    recalls a quote by Summers. In the spring of
    2009 Elizabeth Warren attended a dinner with Mr. Summers who at
    the time was the director of the National Economic Council and a top
    economic adviser to President Obama. This is what transpired:

    After dinner, “Larry leaned back in his chair and offered me some advice,” Ms. Warren writes. “I had a choice. I could be an insider or I could be an outsider. Outsiders can say whatever they want. But people on the inside don’t listen to them.
    Insiders, however, get lots of access and a chance to push their ideas.
    People — powerful people — listen to what they have to say. But insiders also understand one unbreakable rule: They don’t criticize other insiders.
