Murder Draped in Ivy

Why the press can't get enough of Harvard or Yale murders.

I envied people who attended Harvard until I met Slate's Timothy Noah, who graduated cum laude in 1980. Whom do you regard as the least impressive Harvard or Yale graduate? Send nominations to slate.pressbox@gmail.com. I Twitter several times a day—so stop by and graze. (E-mail may be quoted by name in "The Fray," Slate's readers' forum; in a future article; or elsewhere unless the writer stipulates otherwise. Permanent disclosure: Slate is owned by the Washington Post Co.)

Track my errors: This hand-built RSS feed will ring every time Slate runs a "Press Box" correction. For e-mail notification of errors in this specific column, type Harvard-Yale in the subject head of an e-mail message, and send to slate.pressbox@gmail.com.

Corrections, Sept. 18, 2009: This article originally misspelled the first name of Suzanne Jovin. (Return to the corrected sentence.)
