1. @DouthatNYT is right, we're insufferable, but here's my take on Brett Kavanaugh. I was a year behind him at Yale, knew him slightly and considered him a frat bro & unfriendly jock wannabe. So what does l'affaire Kavanaugh say about the meritocracy? nytimes.com/2018/10/03/opi…
2. I was at Yale across three decades as undergrad, grad student & faculty, and also wrote a book on Meritocracy 1.0, as it happened at Yale in the '60s. The focus of The Guardians is Kingman Brewster Jr., Yale president from 1964-77 & uber-WASP reformer amazon.com/Guardians-King…
3. Hindsight: the mid-'80s was an odd time at Yale, a mix of fading '60s liberal idealism, '70s hedonism, & oncoming '80s conservatism. Many students drank way too much (me included) & I'm ashamed I didn't question more of the cultural attitudes of the era vox.com/culture/2018/9…
