...convert the building into luxury housing. In return for moving out, the Craigie tenants are seeking future guarantees about Harvard's commitment to low and moderate-income housing. Apparently Harvard's "policy" of ignoring tenant groups is no more than a strategy that HRE believes is most likely to curb tenant input into decisions involving the University's massive housing stock--one of the largest held by any Cambridge landlord...
...Congress looks for ways to curb military spending, it will have to focus on the uncontrolled cost of weapons. Not only are weapons far more expensive than they should be, they cost far more than was ever remotely anticipated. The expense of 50 major weapons currently being developed has leaped an average of 118% over earlier projections. Unanticipated inflation is responsible for about 70% of the cost overruns, a problem aggravated by chronic delays in production times. The rest is essentially due to the fact that the Pentagon and its contractors design and redesign weapons with little regard for time...

The humanitarian as well as geopolitical goal of the U.S. is to stop the escalation of violence in Central America, and that means exerting force...
...strong recovery from the recession that now grips the U.S. economy will be virtually impossible unless quick action is taken to curb record federal deficits and thus bring down oppressive interest rates.

The board applauded the dramatic progress that Reagan has made in cooling inflation and restoring incentives for investment, but feared that these gains could be erased by the deficits...
...YEAR in office, President Reagan has not only transgressed the line of prudence, but left it light years behind him. Congress and the nation must curb this sell-off. The pending discussion in Congress of the Pakistan deal and the imminent proposal for Jordan provide just the occasion for reassessment and reversal. Exactly why the Jordanians need more weapons is one more Administration fantasy that could use clarification; they have one of the best equipped and trained armies in the Mideast and have just signed a pact for $360 million in anti-aircraft batteries with--you guessed it--Moscow...
