...Cavallaro headed the organization for several years before the couple would relocate to Cambridge, where Cavallaro began his work as associate director of the HLS Human Rights Program. Marques, though, travelled between Angola and Cambridge several times a year for Human Rights Watch to conduct research on freedom of speech and on resettlement issues...
Class Day has always been an occasion for the Harvard senior class to select a prominent public individual to deliver a stimulating and humorous speech, as a quick scan of the roster of speakers indicates. In the past, classes have invited everyone from former U.S. Presidents such as Bill Clinton in 2007 to comedians like Will Ferrell in 2003.

In his address, Rafsanjani referred to America's "unprecedented presence in the region" and how it was meant "to exert pressure on the Islamic Republic," citing U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's accusation that Iran was turning into a "military dictatorship" as part of some Washington plan of intimidation. In that context, Rafsanjani's words made it clear that he (and, by extension, those he sympathizes with) believes...
