Larry Summers, Harvard prez, with a transcript of his remarks on women in science and math and the aftermath. Thanks to David Weinberger's Joho the Blog for this update.

Meanwhile, a new book on Summers opines that he may have Asperger's syndrome. Nevertheless, Summers is an engrossing case study of academic leadership, raising issues of trust, faculty autonomy, presidential manner and priorities, and much more.
