Even years later, the Yale professor Nicholas Christakis tenses when asked about that day when students pilloried him, and he treats every syllable he utters as a possible grenade. More on that & him in my @nytopinion newsletter this week, tinyurl.com/y4e8kcym pic.twitter.com/zvwfjVZ8T9

Nicholas Christakis was the professor being screeched at in the video from Yale seen round the world. Now he's written a book, and it's about how good people are. @FrankBruni explains. nyti.ms/2TSYiof

How do you maintain your optimism and faith in people when they've treated you cruelly? A venerated Yale professor who found himself at the center of campus fury takes @FrankBruni through his emotional journey. nyti.ms/2ThB2f9

You may remember Nicholas Christakis as that professor being screeched at in a courtyard at Yale. What did he do next? Finished a dazzlingly erudite book, out next week, on how inherently good human beings are. He told his story and made his case to me. nyti.ms/2WcXBUi

If we want kids to take risks, flex their curiosity, rebound from failure and embrace learning for learning's sake, then the current college admissions is the absolutely wrong way to go about it, writes @FrankBruni nyti.ms/2TMMT9v

The college admissions mania teaches students that the biggest achievement is breaching an exclusive sanctum, and that you deploy more energy and ingenuity for that than for what you actually do, and learn, once inside. What a terrible lesson. My column, nyti.ms/2Cyhj5B

Is the obsession with getting kids into elite colleges leaving essential values — curiosity, empathy, gratitude — at the curb? “Parents are trying to give their kids ‘everything’ but they’re not giving them what counts," one expert told @FrankBruni. nyti.ms/2TMMUKB

The fetishizing of highly selective colleges and the scheming to get into them is teaching many children lessons that we surely don't mean to, and it's promoting some values that stink. My column, nyti.ms/2Cyhj5B

And of course there’s endless more in @FrankBruni’s super-smart book on the subject, “Where You Go Is Not Who You’ll Be”.

A college admissions madness so intense and perverse it would lead to scandals like the current one? Many of us wrote about it. Here's a collection of such books that The Times put together today. nyti.ms/2TAqrBc

“It may be legal to pledge $2.5M to Harvard just as your son is applying — which is what Jared Kushner’s father did for him — and illegal to bribe a coach to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, but how much of a difference is there?” @FrankBruni nyti.ms/2F09qWZ

Money has long corrupted the admissions process. It’s legal to pledge $2.5 million to a college as your kid applies. (See: Jared Kushner’s dad and Harvard.) It’s illegal to arrange these bribes. It’s cheating either way. nyti.ms/2F09qWZ

Outstanding @FrankBruni piece on the crimes...and non-crimes “leeching merit from the equation” of college admissions.

Anyone who knows anything about the cutthroat competition for precious spots at top-tier schools realizes how ugly and unfair it can be: how many corners are cut, how big a role money plays, how many advantages privilege can buy. — @FrankBruni nyti.ms/2TLrZaK

Actual cheating and bribes to get into the Ivy League and the Ivy-like? Having written a book about the college admissions madness, I can't say I'm surprised. But we should all be saddened and outraged. My column, nyti.ms/2F09qWZ

I promise not to become all dog all the time, but this was wild. My border collie mix happened upon her border-collie-mix doppelgänger in the park this morning. Just try to tell them apart. And they fell instantly in love. Paging Narcissus. pic.twitter.com/DGSTr8RieZ
