A s President-elect Bill Clinton begins choosing people to fill up posts in his administration, we at Harvard can be assured that once again our institution will be well represented in the White House Office. "Well, of course," you might be thinking. "Harvard is the home of the best and the brightest. We're number one--U.S. News and World Report even says so."

And, as we all know, if U.S. News says so, it must be true. Actually, we at 15 Minutes think that the students and faculty at Harvard are so well-rounded, so brilliant, so power-hungry, that we'd like to suggest to Bill that he look no further than Harvard University in selecting his cabinet members. That's right--forget the rest of the contenders. Those Yalies and other such rabble have no place in a top-flight Democratic administration.

Harvard--yes Harvard--has a man or woman to fill competently every single chair around Clinton's new cabinet table. If Bill were to grab his cabinet members randomly from the College's dining halls, faculty lounges and administration building hallways, he'd come up with some real winners for his staff.

We even have some specific people in mind. Bill, if you're reading (and we know you are), here are their names and some other pertinent information. Their phone numbers are avaliable from Harvard University Information, 495-1000. Congratulations and good luck in your search.
