rick Chung is facing a felony cocaine
charge after police allegedly found
the drugat his million-dollarhome
nearLake Winnipesaukee in New
Hampshireearlierthis summer, au-
thoritiessaid Thursday.
A grand jury indicted Chung, 32,

on Aug. 8 for possession of a con-

trolleddrug, whichstemmedfroma

June 25 visit by police to Chung’s

home in Meredith, N.H., according

to the Belknap County attorney’s of-

fice. No one else was charged.

Chung’s arraignmentis set for

Wednesday at 8:45 a.m. The indict-

mentwas first reported by the Laco-

nia Daily Sun.

The Patriots issued a statement

saying they are aware of the situation

with Chung but would not be com-

mentingwhile“judicial proceedings

take place.”

In a statement Thursday, Belknap

County Attorney Andrew B. Liver-

nois said Meredith police officers re-

sponded to Chung’s residence on

June 25 “on a call for service.”

“During the course of that call,

police obtainedthe evidence which

has led to the currentcharges being

filed,” he said.

To federal authorities, Anne
M. Lynch was a willing partner
in a complex bribery scheme al-
legedly intendedto benefit her-
self and the headof a State Po-
lice union.
To the Massachusetts Mov-
ers Association,however, she
was organizedand thorough,
and in the nearly 10 years she
managed the trade group,she
showedshe wouldnot be taken
lightly.
“She knew howto throw
some words around— the
f-bombs,” said Don Knapp, now
the association’s director. He
called Lynch a “trucker’s truck-
er,” a nod to her yearsof work-
ing for the state’s trucking trade
group. “And if you said some-
thingto her, you better make
sure yourfacts wereright. She
wouldcall you on the carpet in
front of everybody.”
That blunt approach made
her a longtime, if not high-pro-
file, player in variousindustry
circles on Beacon Hill, where
she evolved frommanagingthe
day-to-day business of trade as-
sociations to running a lobby-
ing firm paid hundreds of thou-
sandsto pushthe interests of
dozens of organizations.
That included the powerful
state troopers union,with
whosepresident, authorities al-

something criminal.

CEO group poses a test for capitalism

“The capitalist system is under
siege. In recent years business in-
creasingly has been viewed as a
major cause of social, environmen-
tal, and economicproblems. Com-
panies are widely perceived to be
prospering at the expense of the

broader community.”

A news dispatch from the cam-

paign trail, where progressive can-

didates rip into insurers, drug

companies, and the one percenters

who run them?

No, it’s the opening to a seminal

2011 article in the Harvard Busi-

ness Review that lays out the con-

cept of shared value, or “creating

economic value in a way that also

creates value for society by ad-

dressing its needs and challenges.”

Its authors, Harvard Business

School professor Michael E. Porter

and Boston consultant Mark R.

Kramer, are far from fiery popu-

lists.

They argued that corporate

America “must reconnect company

success with social progress.

Shared value is not social responsi-

bility, philanthropy, or even sus-

tainability, but a new way to

achieve economic success.”

That concept got a big boost

Monday, when the Business

Roundtable,a group of some of the

country’s most powerful CEOs,

threw out one of their basic tenets

— that corporations exist principal-

ly to serve their shareholders.

The Trumpadministration is halting the pro-

cessing of most New England asylum cases, a

movethat will increasealreadydauntingwait

times for asylum-seekers and, critics say, serves

as the latest volley in an ongoing assault by the

president against legal immigration.

Officers who currentlyinterview asylum-seek-

ers in Newarkand Boston will be diverted to the

southernborder, leaving behind more than

40,000 pending cases. Newark and Boston are

the only two citiesthat pro-

cess asylumclaims for New

England residents.

“DonaldTrump has a

very direct war on asylum,”

said Matt Cameron,an immigration attorney and

codirector of the Golden StairsImmigration Cen-

ter in East Boston. The Boston asylumoffice is

“down to a skeleton crew, as far as I can tell.”

US Citizenship and Immigration Servicestold

attorneys last weekin an e-mail,whichthe Globe

obtained,that it would no longer scheduleany

new asyluminterviews in Boston and onlya

“small number” in Newark, because of “shifting

prioritiesand the continuedinflux of cases at the

Southwest Border.” Staff will finish cases in

whichinterviews alreadytookplace, the letter

said.

Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon, a vocal critic

of the president’s immigration policies, tweeted

the news Wednesday, bringing attention to what

otherwise might have been written off as a tech-

nicalpersonnel change.

A spokeswomanfor Immigration Services

said that all officeshad beenasked to set aside

“some additional staff”to helpconduct inter-

views in places where processing times have in-

creased;they will not be sent to the borderbut

will instead conduct credible fear interviews re-

MIT’s president on Thursday disclosed that

the school had received about$800,000from

foundationscontrolled by Jeffrey Epstein,the

deceased financier who was charged with sex

traffickingdozens of

minors,and offered

a “profoundand

humble’’ apology to

Epstein’s victims on

behalfof the univer-

sity.

In a letter to the

Massachusetts Insti-

tute of Technology

community, school

president L. Rafael

Reifsaid,“With

hindsight, we recog-

nize with shame and

distress that we al-

lowed MITto con-

tribute to the eleva-

tion of his reputa-

tion, which in turn

served to distract

fromhis horrifying

acts. No apology can

undothat.”

Reifsaidhe has

asked for a groupto

be formed to look at

“the facts aroundthe

Epsteindonations

and identify any les-

sons for the future,

to review our currentprocesses and to advise me

on appropriate ways we mightimprove them.”

He also pledged to commita monetary amount

equal to the fundsMIT received from Epstein’s

foundationsto a charity that benefits Epstein’s

victims or other victims of sexual abuse.

The statement — releasedThursday night —

follows days of controversy over Epstein’s dona-

tions to the MITMedia Lab. Two researchers

said recently that they were severing their ties to
