It was Woody Allen, in his 1977 gem of a movie "Annie Hall," who quipped, "Everything our parents said was good is bad, sunlight, red meat … college." And  in the case of the once world-class Harvard University, truer words have rarely been uttered.

Let’s face it, 30 years ago, when you heard the term "Harvard degree," you thought, "Oh, this must be a very smart person who has done all the reading." Today, sadly, when we hear Harvard degree, most of us think, "Oh, this is likely a wealthy, snot-nosed Marxist who can’t even be bothered to read Marx."
