The cell had earlier been headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, where its alleged ringleader, an Egyptian named Mohamed Atta, 33, had lived off and on for eight years.

The connections are easy to establish: the company seeks Harvard students, the student employment office regularly posts Sparknotes listings, and the selection process is straightforward and non-competitive. Furthermore, a recurrent theme in interviews with past Sparknotes writers is that the Harvard management team led by Yagan is relaxed and understanding. Lara M. Buchak ’03, who worked for Sparknotes between her freshman and sophmore years highlights the team’s youth...
