• I'm looking for the source of a quotation that goes something like this: "only in an organization this small can issues be so acrimonious." The sense of it is that in small organizations, infighting is more probable.


  • "University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small." This phrase is widely attributed to Henry Kissinger, though he may not have said it. I have found a good post about the phrase, including an alternative origin. If you're interested, I will post it as an answer.


  • That's it! Please post as an answer.
