...years ago that warning, traditionally delivered to nervous freshmen by worldly upperclassmen and proctors, was in vogue. The memory of how city police helped the University administration teach student demonstrators a lesson during the 1969 strike was still painfully fresh. So were recollections of how the Harvard police, who had intentionally kept a low profile in 1969, were fond of going easy on students, often handing out fatherly lectures when summonses, or even worse, were in order. If the Cambridge department were filled with hard-nosed Sgt. Fridays, well, the popular wisdom had it that the University police operated more...
After his Swiss sojourn, Cornwell joined the army intelligence corps. His fluency won him an assignment in Vienna where he added human dimension to his fresh literary perceptions. "I spent a great deal of time with extraordinary victims of half a dozen wars," he remembers with the air of an old warden.

Saffir defends that formula, which was first presented in a June 27 preview edition, on the grounds that the city's three major dailies generally avoid syndicated material. "New Yorkers never get to see this stuff, so it will be fresh and new to them," he says. It is also cheaper than hiring reporters, and Saffir expects to get by with a relatively skinny editorial staff of 100. All together, the Trib's backers, who include former Treasury Secretary William Simon, have pledged something less than $6 million...
