This '50-year rule" has long been criticized by historians for limiting and delaying scholarship on important pieces of University and local history, from the Sacco-Vanzetti case to Harvard research on the mentally retarded...

While at Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship, he volunteered for the Navy, where as an intelligence officer, he occasionally briefed President Eisenhower...
