There had been some speculation before yesterday's announcement that he is to be interred in the crypt, that his body would be brought back to Poland. But that proved unfounded.

One example particularly close to home is the Apple Computer rumor-mill site “Think Secret,” run by the pseudonymous Nick DePlume, who (it was revealed last month in The Crimson) is none other than Harvard freshman and Crimson editor Nicholas M.
