Because of its central location in the projected Allston campus, the purchase is a critical and exciting step for Harvard. As part of the exchange, Harvard will build brand new replacement housing units on a nearby parcel of land, a prospect about which many residents currently seem pleased.

Last year, points out Riedel, the Director of National Intelligence "testified that Iran had a complex, multifaceted program to build a bomb. Now he says it was halted four years ago. Our allies will have new doubts about the reliability of U.S. intelligence on rogue states' nuclear activities...
