...self-expression. Harvard students gathered last Friday in Adams Art Space for a T-shirt decorating get-together, where students wrote messages on various items of clothing using markers and fabric paint. Clement D. Wright ’09, an organizer of the event, discussed the cult of the identi-tee. “Its fun to grab a T-shirt out of your drawer and say, ‘This talks about who I am and what I’m into,’” he says.

Only their fingerprints were different, and within seven years only fingerprints were accepted in civilized communities as the ineradicable mark of criminal identification...
From descriptions by Valerie and a witness who remembered seeing an erratic driver the morning after the murder, police were able to construct likenesses of the murderer from an Identi-Kit.* Among the suspects identified was a man named James Ryan. Checking this lead, Scotland Yard found a traveling salesman in Ireland who reported that he had written some postcards to England for a near illiterate acquaintance named Jimmy Ryan. One card in particular had seemed odd; it was addressed to a Mrs. Mary Hanratty, and it began: "Dear...
