...explains, and perceptions of the school, she insists, are not always fair. Her public relations team is there not only "to express the administration's viewpoint, as they want it expressed" but also "to provide all of the facts...Harvard is not a monolith, so I'm trying to convey what the work or the action is and let the public's response take care of itself...

The IRS did convey the agents' reports about the alleged meeting to the Department of Justice in 1973, but the department did nothing with the information. In effect, the story was covered up far more effectively than the Watergate scandals were...
