...information we’ve received on community benefits.” The cornerstone of Harvard’s proposed benefits hinge on $25 million in educational and economic enhancements to the neighborhood over the next 10 years. These benefits will ultimately be incorporated into a legally binding document that will be signed by the University and the Boston Redevelopment Authority—the agency responsible for overseeing development projects in the city—before construction can begin.

The Danes enlisted both a Swedish and a Russian icebreaker for its expedition to the largely uncharted waters north of Greenland to document what Science Minister Helge Sander refers to as "our hopefully justified claim of a continental shelf from Greenland toward the North Pole." The Danes know that scientific inquiry alone will not determine who gets what in the north. "When we are talking resources, we are also talking politics," says Sander...
