...Centennial Bell, a half-size replica bell, and bell-shaped cookies rang in concert yesterday at the Business School’s Baker Library. The library’s belltower became home to the first of 18 new bells being delivered from Russia to Harvard, with the rest slated to be installed in Lowell House next summer. The new set is coming to Cambridge in exchange for Harvard’s historic bells from Danilov Monastery in Moscow, which an American industrialist purchased from Josef Stalin’s Soviet Union and gave to the University in 1930. When...
Setting the tone, Lord Justice Scott Baker, the coroner leading the inquests, began by reading his opening statement to the jury and drumming home the point that "this is not a trial." The six women and five men (only 11 jurors are required for an inquest) listened as Baker explained "in a nutshell" what evidence they would be hearing over the next six months and what they were expected to do with it all. Officially, an inquest tries to answer four key questions: who died, when, where and how? It is required by law whenever anyone dies of anything other...
...seven hours that followed, Baker walked the jury through the events on the night of the crash and the two months leading up to it. Along the way, he plucked out - and then crushed - some of the main elements of Britain's favorite conspiracy theory; the same ones that Dodi's father, Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed, points to as evidence to support his allegation that the secret service murdered the couple on Prince Philip's orders...
...played down several issues that would have supported Al Fayed's obsessive quest. For example, the jury will have to consider whether or not Diana was pregnant when she died. But Baker showed them the photo that some say proves she was, one in which a swimsuit-clad Diana appears to have a rounded belly - then stated that it was taken before Diana and Dodi even met. On claims that the couple were engaged, Baker noted that, yes, Diana had once teased journalists with a promise that "you're going to get a big surprise" - but, again, that was before...
Happy Anniversary, India Your coverage was good, but I was surprised that you dedicated half of it to Aryn Baker's story "Beyond Faith" [Aug. 20], giving readers the impression that Islam plays a big part in Indian life. Roughly only 1 out of 10 Indians is Muslim, and 60 years of independence have produced a functioning secular democracy in India and a failed Islamic state in Pakistan. Pakistan would have disintegrated into warring ethnic provinces had it not been for the billions of dollars that the U.S. poured into the coffers of military dictators and generals...
