...will certainly look both ways before hanging posters up in illegal areas, there is something much more serious at stake in this tale. While the Science Center gates--and my friend--were being scrupulously observed in case of some illicit activity, people are being held up in front of Lamont library and attacked in the Cambridge Common in the middle of the day. Although I see nothing inherently wrong with the police officers enforcing Harvard's policy about proper decorum for postering, it appears as though guarding Harvard's bricks is more important than protecting Harvard's students.

Their indifference towards eager library patrons is an art form. I waited for three minutes to receive help because they could not cut short their mediation and deep relaxation exercises which those who do not know better would be tempted to describe as sleep...
