The Schwarz Guarantee: Kissinger Nugget or Your Money Back!

In the March issue of The Atlantic (yes, we read The Atlantic—for the cheesecake photos, not for the articles), Benjamin Schwarz gives Richard Blow Bradley's Harvard Rules the old 69-word once-over, calling it "gossipy and kind of trashy but wholly compelling—a Sex and the City for the Northeast-corridor elite (now, there's an unappealing concept)."

Sounds hot! But we're really excited about Schwarz's closing lines (and since the review was so short, practically his opening ones):

"University politics," to quote Henry Kissinger, "are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small." (I guarantee, that quotation will appear in every review of this book.)

So, there ya go: The Schwarz Guarantee. When reviews of Blow Bradley's book begin appearing around its March 1 release date, please send all instances of this quote our way and we'll, you know, do something with them.
