...other disturbing contrast of the weekend was the K-School's Establishment Mixer Saturday evening. It was a throwback to the 1950s, at least. Faculty, politicians and selected students filled the ARCO Forum in their mandatory tuxedos, capes and gowns. Not only did one need status to be invited, but there was a two-class system among the guests themselves. Some of the guests had special VIP passes to a less-crowded penthouse bar above the run-of-the-mill attending the gala. The penthouse doors were guarded by the pre-elite students from the Institute of Politics...
Republican candidate Hatch will meet Democratic nominee King at 8 p.m. in the Arco Public Forum of the Kennedy School. The debate is the first in a series between Massachusetts political opponents...
...more talked about public spaces in the Kennedy School is the ARCO forum donated by the Atlantic, Richfield Company. It occupies the entire center of the main floor.

They are also dinosaurs. When the oil is gone, or is replaced as an energy source, these tankers...

Imagine a seven-story office building a block long filled with crude oil, and a sense of the economic and environmental impact of an average supertanker comes clear. A single trip south is worth $11 million to Arco. Refined, this one load could fuel 20,000 cars and heat 6,000 average-size houses for a year. If spilled, it would foul hundreds of miles of coastal beach, kill unbelievable amounts of sea life. Either way, the stakes are high...
