...positions altogether. In fact, the infusion of educated labor drove growth in host countries' most dynamic sectors. Izabela Chudzicka, 26, arrived with a diploma in economics and now stars in her own Polish-language TV show in Dublin. Ireland, she says, has given her opportunities she could only dream of at home. Sure, she would be ready to go back "if the job is there." But Ireland's 150,000 Poles form a viable submarket for Polish-language media. Chudzicka is like the majority of expatriate Poles, who have at least a secondary education, if not a university degree. Most...
...Jacques Delors was the President of the European Commission, the single currency was being planned, and François Mitterrand and Helmut Kohl were shaping European policy.

...Sharp’s vision sounds like an environut’s wet dream; in the meantime, Harvard has a more realistic (but still ambitious) game plan. Under the current proposal, thirty acres of open space will be constructed on asphalt-covered land, and planners will strive for lower energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission. Furthermore, Allston streets will be bolstered with bike lanes and pedestrian walkways...
