As Yorke eyed the crowd through the oversized projector screens like a scientist peering at bugs through a microscope, he mocked superpower military swagger, singing "Come on, come on, Holy Roman Empire/ C'mon, if you think you can take us all."

For example, in 2003 the cameras were used to identify the culprits in a string of projector thefts from the Kennedy School of Government. Moreover, data from surveillance cameras has never been used by the Administrative Board against a student. The University has understandably refused to disclose the exact location of video cameras. Revealing this information would undermine the efficacy of existing security measures, as criminals would...
