...Harvard Police took my testimony but have evidently buried it, since they neglected to report the incident to The Crimson along with the others. In the meantime, I've seen several such gangs in the vicinity, but never once a police car or foot patrol--except of course for Yasser Arafat's visit. It is ironic that the one evening I've felt safe since the murder attempt was when Harvard rolled out the red carpet to entertain mass- murderer. Now we learn there was a rape, in early September, in mid-morning. But it was buried, too, as long...

In the fifth row, Yasser Arafat (just below the "50" banner) was placed near Yitzhak Rabin of Israel--Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia, on Arafat's left, separated them. To Rabin's right was Tomiichi Murayama, the Prime Minister of Japan. Nelson Mandela (second row, second from left) wore dark glasses. One of the tiniest countries...
