...captain sometime prior to 1967, according to his son Thomas E. Walsh, who could not remember the exact year of his father’s appointment. “The stories about him helping students were absolutely legion,” said Arthur G. Luongo, a former HUPD sergeant who worked for Walsh. “From day one, he was always devoted to the Harvard community...I think the happiest years of his life were spent at the Harvard police department.

The plot, essentially composed of almost journalistic vignettes, traces the ups and downs of everyday soldier life. Even the most banal serves as a suspenseful contrast to ticking bombs and explosions. When James confuses a dead boy?...
...Vineyard has long been the summer home of black luminaries including Gates, Harlem Renaissance writer Dorothy West and Congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (who honeymooned here in 1934). "That is why I like it here," Gates told TIME after returning from his White House beer summit with Obama and Sergeant James Crowley, the Cambridge, Mass., police officer whose altercation with Gates sparked a summer's worth of agitated headlines. "To me, it's racial heaven." (See pictures of Barack Obama's family tree...
