Harvard president tackles first day at work

The Boston Globe: "Harvard University president Drew G. Faust spent her first workday in power yesterday hosting an ice cream social and doing business in a new office that she described as "surrounded with flowers and kind wishes and interesting problems."...

Faust took on many presidential duties months ago. Asked if she'd learned to handle the stress and long hours, she said she was still working on it.

For example, she likes relaxing with detective novels, but these days falls asleep after two paragraphs.

She also dotes on her dog, Clio, who has behavior problems.

'She reminds me that life is not perfect and life is not all about Harvard,' Faust said."
