Following the Leaders: Presidents of Brown and Princeton Better than Actual President

Following the Leaders: Presidents of Brown and Princeton Better than Actual PresidentA sad day for journalism when Glamour scoops US News & World Report on the upper education beat, but it happened this month when the former jumped on the "Every crowd around the pretty lady presidents!" bandwagon first. Yesterday's release of US News' "America's Best Leaders"  echoes Glamour's 2007 "Women of the Year" featuring Prezettes Ruth Simmons (Brown) and Shirley Tilghman (Princeton). In USN Simmons and Tilghman sit among notable peoples like Nancy Pelosi, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nicholas Kristof and Yo-Yo Ma.

Conspicuously missing from the list are fellow "Women of the Year" Drew Gilpin Faust (president, Harvard) and Amy Gutmann (Fairy Jihad-Mother, Penn), whose mere existence as double-X-chromosomed heads of Ivies is usually reason enough to split Simmons' and Tilghman's glory four ways.
