It's been about four months since I read this article, but I woke up this morning haunted once again by David Sabatini's story. Extraordinary competence meant nothing in the face of malicious accusations of sexual harassment. The old adage is right, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. But that does not explain MIT's willingness to watch from the sidelines, as a new female director got rid of her main rival, the man who had been offered the job before her, and a young, pretty researcher with her own lab got revenge on the man who would not marry her. And now the world has lost one of the premier cancer researchers in the world, a man being watchd by the Nobel Prize Committe itself. This is the new MIT??? Maybe this is the new America. Petty, jealous, and only moderately interested in the job at hand.
