...target area of the grant will be a 268-acre region north of Central Square, described in the City's application as having "substandard housing, pockets of blight, overcrowding and mixed land use, and inadequate facilities." Using the facilities of Harvard and M.I.T., and relying heavily on the judgments of residents in the affected area, the program will attempt to achieve long range stability for the neighborhood. Local residents will elect a majority of the members of the agency which will supervise planning under the grant, and they will be able to vote on any final proposals in a referendum...
...that "Rumanians are masters in their own house"-meaning that they like their new independence from Moscow. Fidel Castro had snubbed the Kremlin by sending Public Health Minister Dr. José Ramón Machado in his place; when the peeved Russians would not let Machado speak before the Central Committee like the representatives of other Communist states, he departed for home in a huff two days early...
...last week, a deadly clutch of running battles took place within 20 miles of the Cambodian border. In the craggy jungles of the western Central Highlands around the town, six North Vietnamese regiments with a total strength of some 17,000 men have been bivouacked for months.

This is the time of year when the rainy season comes to an end around Dak To-and the Communists dry off and come out fighting. Their...
...scene was the living room of a Viet Cong representative in Pnompenh, the capital of Cambodia. While reporters, photographers and onlookers milled around, a bespectacled man named Nguyen Van Hieu, the representative in Cambodia of the National Liberation Front and a member of its Central Committee, brought off the elaborately staged affair like an experienced master of ceremonies. In a move obviously calculated to encourage dissent against the Viet Nam war in the U.S., the Viet Cong "symbolically" turned over three U.S. prisoners of war to an American antiwar activist, Thomas Hayden. The hope was, said Hieu piously, that...
...surprising that appointments were the issue in Good's misadventures, since they are the central battle-ground for old-style City politics in the School Committee. Cambridge chooses teachers by examination, intermediate administrators by examining committees and the Superintendent's recommendations, and top administrators by procedures the School Committee establishes for itself. Bringing competent new blood into the system is more essential--and thus more difficult--in the higher reaches of the hierarchy. Traditionalists like Fitzgerald resist outsiders and outside help like Harvard. Calling in the experts implies disloyalty to the Cambridge system for them. Duehay is willing to risk...
