Harvard and the City of Cambridge also installed blue-light emergency call boxes in Cambridge Common, the location of one of the assaults last year and just a block from yesterday’s attack. There is a call box on the corner of Everett Street and Mass. Ave., near where the attack occurred...
With just 18 seconds left in the first game of the Eastern Championships, co-captain Rick Offsay and senior John Lynch gave the Harvard men’s water polo team the chance to take home first, second or third place with a timely block against Salem International.
