Harvard spokesman Joe Wrinn said that while he couldn’t comment on a specific case because of privacy concerns, the University checks credit histories before hiring employees who would have “access to sensitive financial information or involvement in significant financial transactions...
Time for a Family Chat Re Joe Klein's "A father's inadvertent wisdom" [Dec. 4]: There appears to be an elephant in the living room of the Bush household.

Indeed, after telling Lepore and Paladino they were suspects, Federal Police spokesman Bruno Craesmeyer admitted: "The Federal Police believe that the American pilots are not as responsible as other people. There are more serious causes of the accident."
