Budd, who had predicted before the race that she would lose, was glad...
...meeting, Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) Chief Francis “Bud” Riley said he was glad the committee took on March as “lock-your-door” month. He said the results explain why forced entry is rare on campus: would-be criminals find it easier to find an unlocked door than breaking into a locked room...
