DIED. James Swindal, 88, Air Force One pilot who flew John F. Kennedy's body back to Washington after the President's assassination in Dallas; in Cocoa Beach, Fla. Swindal stayed in the cockpit while the new President was sworn in onboard, minutes before takeoff. "I didn't belong to the Lyndon Johnson team," he said. "My President was in that...
...suit brought by The Crimson against Harvard. The newspaper had argued that private university police are bound by the same public records laws as their publicly-funded peers. HUPD’s force includes officers who are deputized by the Middlesex and Suffolk County sheriffs and who are sworn special state police. At present, the only crime information released by HUPD is a brief summary in an online police log.

Apparently, the passport, the three picture IDs, four credit cards, and the authorization letter from Harvard were not enough...
...their right to refuse entry to an officer without a warrant. Students’ confusion may arise due to ambiguity over HUPD’s role within the University. On the one hand, HUPD is a branch of Harvard, privately funded and operated. On the other, HUPD officers are sworn special state police officers and are deputies of the Suffolk and Middlesex County Sheriff’s offices. Because of this, searches by HUPD carry the same consequences as searches by the Cambridge Police Department and ought to be subject to the same constitutional limits as any other police search...
