...President Bush, he is a person who shoots from the hip, invites conflict and sees compromise as a sign of weakness rather than a path to progress.

The hallmark of the new changes to the plan for Allston is a focus on sustainability. Along with these beneficial green spaces, the new plans even call for a garden and orchard to be sown on the Allston property. While the size and food output of these projects may be still in the works, this array of sustainable symbols is a great way to set an example for Allston and beyond. Harvard does well in proposing these...
