Harassing a few college kids and drunks? That's nothing. Try a full scale riot like the one that broke out in Harvard Square during an anti -Vietnam War protest on April 16, 1970.

If the Cambridge City Council released the stenographic record of their meetings.

Seriously, running gun battles in Harvard Square is not the norm.
