I remember being so poor when I went to Harvard, for Christmas break I took a Greyhound bus back to California.
Big mistake. I wasn’t thinking straight.
On the way, at a bus station in Philadelphia, an immigration officer went through the bus, and had the audacity to ask me for my papers.
My papers? All I had was the Boston Globe sports page.
They didn’t arrest me because I also had The New York Times and a Harvard ID.
One of the few times going to Harvard actually helped me in life.
A Harvard ID didn’t help Eldo Kim, 20, who is likely not having much fun staying with close family in Massachusetts after his arrest last week for allegedly making a fake bomb threat at Harvard.
