Gates Says He Likes Crowley, Jokes About Arrest
Henry Louis Gates Jr. said Sgt. Crowley looked "so relieved" when he shook his hand, and the two were able to find humor in the media frenzy unleashed by his arrest. Gates said he and Crowley discussed meeting again privately -- either going to lunch or taking in a Boston Red Sox or Celtics game -- or having their two families go out to dinner together. "I offered to get his kids into Harvard if he doesn't arrest me again," he said, drawing loud laughter from the audience.
