...gray berets are the symbol of the Task Force, Chief David L. Gorski's attempt to modernize the Harvard Police. The members of the Task Force--five patrolmen, one sergeant, and Lieutenant Larry Murphy--patrol Harvard property every night in plain clothes and unmarked cars, patrolling special computerized routes.

...academy and dated girls frequently. Last July, after the Navy heard reports about his sexual life and began an investigation, Berg resigned and was transferred from the Sixth Fleet flagship Little Rock to Norfolk Naval Base for discharge. Meanwhile, he read of the struggle by Air Force Technical Sergeant Leonard Matlovich (TIME, June 9) to challenge the armed services' ban on homosexuals. Berg too decided to fight.
