...reception for family, friends, colleagues, and former students will be held today at 4 p.m. at the Belmont Hill Club, 825 Concord Ave., in Belmont...
Barry’s Corner, the neighborhood at the intersection of Western Ave. and N. Harvard St., harbors no such pretensions of grandeur. Anchored at one end by a low-income housing complex and on the other by two gas stations, it is a gritty and crumbling ribbon of asphalt where two major bus routes meet to form a bowtie-shaped intersection hazardous to pedestrians. But in its modesty there is a sense of community that Harvard Square lost long ago. Inexpensive housing rings the crossroads; in the mornings, residents, many of them optimistic immigrants hoping to grab a piece...
...Harvard expands its Cambridge campus across the Charles and across Western Ave., the Allston cityscape, and the city’s people, will change. Harvard’s planners deny the latter point, as does the Boston Redevelopment Authority, but the people in the street know it.

Trees will be planted, roads repaved, decrepit buildings demolished, and new buildings erected...

According to University Police Captain Matthew F. Toohy, over 5,000 members of the University operated automobiles. But there...

The town will surround a colossal church, shaped like a pontiff's hat, with a 65-foot crucifix at the front door. They're also moving a university from Michigan to Florida, so the students and faculty can seed the town. If you're a parent who does not want your child to attend the Catholic elementary school, you will have to put your child on a school bus to be educated elsewhere in the county...
