...four additional suspects are: William "Lefty" Gilday, 41, a June parolee from Walpole who like Valeri was scheduled to enroll in Northeastern University this fall; Stanley R. Bond, 26, another ex-convict from Walpole who entered Brandeis last February on the special prison STEP program; Kathy Power, 21, a Brandeis senior active in the national student strike center there through the spring and summer; and Susan Saxe, 21, a June graduate of Brandeis, magna cum laude in American and English Literature...
