It's debatable whether or not the Ad Board should have handled this case in lieu of the Cambridge police. Would Hansen have enjoyed the same protection under Harvard's jurisdiction if the beating had taken place in Au Bon Pain...

Edgar Bronfman Sr. used prearranged meetings with top lawmakers such as House Speaker Newt Gingrich...
ELIZABETH HURLEY, known chiefly for standing near Briton du jour Hugh Grant in photogenic outfits, is the new face of Estee Lauder. Now she might be able to deflect attention from another part of her anatomy. Hurley wasn't overjoyed when Grant publicly described her breasts as "magnificent, the best pair in London."
