...both the concentration of such programs and the centrality of their locations. Harvard Square Homeless Shelter director Chiara Condi ’08 said that ease of accessibility may account for the popularity of the Harvard Square shelter, which is located in the basement of University Lutheran Church. “There are a lot of shelters further out but every time we try to refer someone to one out there they say, ‘I can’t make it out there,’” she said. “There?...

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Jendayi Fraser said last weekend that the U.N. should consider imposing sanctions on Zimbabwe unless the violence ceases. Unions, civil society and church groups from around the region have also rallied to support Zimbabwe's opposition, successfully preventing a Chinese weapons shipment bound for Zimbabwe from reaching the landlocked country by refusing to offload it in southern African ports.
