...officer of the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) noticed a person in Harkness Commons who he knew was not allowed on campus. The subject was stopped and identified. The officer placed him under arrest for trespassing...
...physical effort to embody Clinton's legacy: the $150 million presidential library, a combination archive, museum, policy center and graduate school, to be built on 28 acres along the banks of the Arkansas River. The Clinton Center will house the largest collection of presidential materials ever because its subject is not only the most investigated President in history but also the most photographed, most recorded and most documented.

But Ma Bell's latest split makes the subject topical, especially with WorldCom's having just announced a split as well. I'm not talking about letter stocks either. Those are bust-ups in name only. Management of companies with a tracking stock still answer to the parent's boss. What's the point...
