It wants to show the world that Harvard isn’t all pedigree, but promise and progress as well. Yet it cannot successfully burst into the 21st century by denying its heritage and aesthetic. An intrinsic part of Harvard’s allure is its unique character, its singularly American mix of neo-Georgian, neo-Classical, and colonial architecture, its brick and ivy.

...have no idea what you've done," the 73-year-old man muttered after he failed to bar the farmhouse door to Renato Cortese, the police officer who had burst through to take him into custody. Cortese brushed off the remark as a typical bad guy's pro forma plea of innocence. He was certain he had his man. The soft-spoken, cigar-smoking cop with a salt-and-pepper beard had been on the hunt for seven years, staring at version after version of sketches of the fugitive.
