Remembering the way she was
When Becky Cooper first heard the story as a student at Harvard, it seemed both unbelievable but still entirely feasible: in early January 1969, a Harvard professor killed a female archeology grad student after she threatened to expose their affair.

Harvard smothered the investigation, the murder remained unsolved, and the professor was still teaching in the same department, fully tenured.
