...parkway running through the western part of Somerville. That's where the Metropolitan Boston Transit Authority (MBTA) is going to extend the Red Line from Harvard Square by 1982 or 1983, if everything goes according to schedule. Lucky for the Class of '82, things won't be too bad in the Square until March or April, when the heavy construction is scheduled to begin. But just wait until the Class of '83 arrives...
Probably not, but just to save face with other Universities, most of which are in bad shape financially, Harvard has initiated a somewhat serious effort to cut back. Two years ago, a guy named Stephen S. J. Hall, former vice president for administration, had 115 brainstorms on how to save money. That was the winter Hall decided to turn off all the heat in the Houses over Christmas vacation,, producing extensive flooding due to cracked water pipes, costing a whole...

Lightning struck two young men visiting Sequoia National Park in 1975, killing one and damaging the other's nervous system. The tragedy would seem to be an ugly triumph of miscreant weather and bad luck, yet a pending lawsuit against the National Park Service demands "no less than a million" for the disabled survivor and $1,606,645 for his late companion's family. The plaintiffs' argument: the park management negligently failed to warn the victims against standing where lightning might strike. The most amazing thing about the plaintiffs' position is that...
