...encounter with the police was brief, but it did not go unnoticed. Furthermore, students found out later that there had been a full chain of emails questioning their presence on the Quad field. Those sending the emails expressed doubt that the people on the Quad were Harvard students, and expressed annoyance that their precious grass was being destroyed. As participants of the Challenge heard about these emails and began to read them, many of them felt emotions in the realm of hurt, frustration, and anger...

The seven reservists involved in the photographed abuses have been charged with conspiracy, maltreatment and indecent acts, and six additional soldiers up the chain of command have been severely reprimanded and one was admonished.

One of Romney's biggest achievements was seeing the potential for the office-supply chain Staples in the 1980s, when few could imagine a time businesses wouldn't just get their paper and pens delivered. In describing his own management style, Romney draws none-too-subtle contrasts with the current occupant of the Oval Office. Romney loves "wallowing in the data," he says...
