Because the registrar's office does not like to hold onto the documents any longer than it must a detail from the University Printing Office picks up the exams each day and takes them across the river to the office's Allston headquarters and printing plant. This transfer is the stage most susceptible to theft and leaks in the entire process and requires a certain amount of security. But like any good soldier on the defensive, administrators involved with distributing exams are completely closemouthed on the subject...
...transfer of police resources from automobiles to foot patrols. The growing urban fear of crime stems not only from contact with crime itself, but with the general atmosphere of disorder in society. Police can make citizens feel significantly more secure by providing the services that only a cop walking a beat can offer--shooting away bums, dispersing crowds of rowdy kids, and knowing the difference between neighborhood "regulars" and "strangers".

Recent research indicates, however, that the contemporary obsession with response time has not helped police effectiveness in the least. A study of response time in Kansas City revealed that on average assault victims did not report their crimes to the police until an hour after it had occurred; robbery victims waited 23 minutes, burglary victims more than an hour...

It would give disruptive and troubled (but not actually dangerous) young people a chance to sort out their problems in cooperation with a competent government agency; and the transfer of actual criminal jurisdiction would lower the likelihood that threats to society, whatever their age, would remain free...

At the newly established border post at Taba, five miles south of the Israeli town of Eilat, an Egyptian officer politely but firmly explained to the Israeli drivers of 15 vehicles that they could not yet be allowed to go any further. A rubber stamp needed for validating travel documents had not arrived from Cairo, he explained. At the scruffy northern Sinai town of Rafah, which is now divided by the Israeli-Egyptian border fence, matters were also confused. The system that will permit Arab...
