...marked it unmistakably as a professional hit by Calabria's powerful crime syndicate, the 'Ndrangheta, a word of Greek origin meaning courage or loyalty. The message was just as clear: We're in charge here.

Indeed, Kirby’s first annual letter to the Faculty, in 2003, warned of budget deficits by fiscal year 2005.Kirby did not address the projected...
