A bucket brigade clears rubble at the World Trade Center after the 911 attacks
Clue: Richard is on the bucket brigade
Solution: Bucket Brigade refers to transportation of items where items are passed from one stationary person to the next. More specifically, it refers to a method of firefighting before the advent of hand pumped fire engines, whereby firefighters would pass buckets to each other to extinguish a blaze. A famous example of this is the Union Fire Company.
But other than this description I think we should focus more on the following description from Wiki:
For the hacking method known as the bucket brigade attack, see Man-in-the-middle attack.
Which means that Richard is the man in the middle listener and parser.
The man in the middle attack is used in the following way:
Updates: Looking more into it, I find that the man in middle could be also used in other contexts, have a look at these two articles:

I’m sorry. I’m just not feeling this explanation to Clue #65.
I will say this, “Dick” is a contraction of “Richard”.
Tom, Dick and Harry. Tom, Richard and Harry??

I agree, Rob. My thoughts appear at the end of the previous clue. I can’t really see where hacking methods fit in anywhere with the other clues.

Hi all, looks as if today is one hectic day for clues. Too many to really keep track of. Didn;t really follow it but I saw the Whirlpool seems to be having veyr active discussion Cluemakers seem to have also added a tag VVV to the Flickr map, which was not there initially. This V chevron on that we saw on three privates seems to be crucial.
