...world that are and can only be performed by Washington; no other country, or group of countries, has the will, the wallet, or the military muscle to attempt them. In that sense, Mandelbaum argues in a new book, the U.S. acts as the world's government, to the broad benefit of many outside its borders. The Case for Goliath is one of those works that invites the reader to look at the familiar in a new way; it would be nice, if optimistic, to think that it will be read carefully by those for whom knee-jerk anti-Americanism...
...Crimson now contends that the judge erred in concluding that documents held in the custody of the HUPD did not fall within the scope of G.L. c. 66, § 10. It points out that the statutory language manifests a clear legislative intent to give the public broad access to government documents, subject only to limited exemptions that are not pertinent here.

...confer upon campus security staff all the powers of a State police officer appointed pursuant to c. 22C, § 10." Commonwealth v. Mullen, 40 Mass.App.Ct. 404, 407 (1996). Contrast G.L. c. 41, § 99; Commonwealth v. Callahan, 428 Mass. 335, 337 (1998) (G.L. c. 41, § 99, is broad statute permitting Massachusetts cities and towns to requisition special police officers from other States who "shall have the authority of constables and police officers within the limits of such city or town, except as to the service of civil process"). The law enforcement authority conferred...

The Crimson does assert, however, that the disclosure requirement should apply to the HUPD, an entity exercising broad police powers...
