While dabbling in Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club productions, he joined Gilbert and Sullivan’s board of directors, serving as treasurer and then president, and eventually directing the group’s 50th anniversary productions of “H.M.S. Pinafore” and “Trial by Jury.” Miller has only appeared on the Harvard stage twice, once as Frankenfurter in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and once in a Gilbert and Sullivan production as a last-minute replacement...

Davis is also expected to repeat, as he has in court filings, that the Defense department's former top lawyer...
...specific trial dates for the "high value" prisoners have yet been fixed, but when they are, the proceedings will be televised via closed circuit to the U.S. mainland for the benefit of relatives of those killed in the 9/11 attacks. Victims' families will be able to follow the proceedings from Fort Hamilton in New York, Fort Monmouth in New Jersey, Fort Meade in Maryland and Fort Devens in Massachusetts...
