There are many examples; I was actually quite surprised to discover the different ways that this sense of association can be traded for mutual benefit.

I think this is a broader issue where an unspoken symbiotic relationship exists between elite institutions and organisations that want to create a veneer of association with them; both sides profit in different ways (one gets £££, the other status). The grey area is the point.

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

I also haven't been able to get this bizarre quote out of my head. "If you don't like this, you won't like what follows me."

I know what she means to say but it's phrased like an admission that they know this will just bring on Reform but they're going to do it anyway. Paging Dr Freud!
