...doing is real imaging," says Richard Huguenin, chief technology officer. "You see a picture." Actually, it's more like a shadow. The human body, as it turns out, naturally emits millimeter radiation that goes right through clothes. So anything blocking that emission, such as a concealed gun or wallet, shows up as a shadow in the images produced by Millivision's prototype scanners. Huguenin acknowledges the privacy concerns, but he argues that the technology's public-safety benefits outweigh them.

But as important as those two tasks have been to Harvard, they may have cost Rudenstine an even larger legacy than the one he leaves...
Rudenstine didn’t pull out. And as he prepares to hand over the keys to his Mass. Hall office 10 years later, he leaves a conflicted record in his wake—a fatter wallet, a more diverse University, the potential for a larger campus—but a diminished bully pulpit and a distinct sense of distance between undergraduates and Harvard’s administration...
