...Allston cityscape, and the city’s people, will change. Harvard’s planners deny the latter point, as does the Boston Redevelopment Authority, but the people in the street know it. When Harvard moves into Allston, the Barry’s Corner community, as it now exists, will cease to exist. This is not to say, as Harvard widely touts, that the physical landscape will not change for the better. Trees will be planted, roads repaved, decrepit buildings demolished, and new buildings erected. But the neighborhood’s denizens will not be the same...
...walk out of the gates of Harvard Yard, remember the two worlds that exist only blocks away. No longer can Americans rely on national leaders to close the chasm between these two worlds for us. We in state and municipal governments are working to create real solutions, but our efforts depend on your active participation in the process. We need you to help bridge...
...would not be an overstatement to say that without free speech and an unfettered exchange of ideas, a true University could not exist. All ideas, no matter how unpleasant to some, deserve to be voiced and judged on their merits. This year, several instances of curtailed speech raised our ire. Last November, DePaul University professor Norman G. Finkelstein’s speech at Harvard Law School was frequently interrupted by a vocal minority of protesters, who shouted taunts and attempted to drown out his words. A similarly worrying episode occurred in the spring, when some students tore pro-life posters...
...Cambridge Licensing Commission’s (CLC) reasoning behind its perennial refusal to allow Harvard Square nightlife to exist by forcing all restaurants and bars to shut down at 2 a.m. could not be more nonsensical. For example, the CLC claims that that noise from late-night eateries, such as Felipe’s Taqueria (which faced penalties last fall for selling burritos a few minutes past 2 a.m.), would be disruptive to Cambridge residents. Most of the Square’s restaurants and bars, however, are in non-residential areas. Clearly, the city could grant these restaurants later hours...
...rival the Mirror warned families to lock up their daughters. The government immediately appealed, and Parliament rushed to replace the defunct law, indeed to raise the age of consent for both genders to 17. Nevertheless, at a moment when much of Western Europe is scandalized over pedophilia, doubts now exist over the legal status of six other Irish men imprisoned for statutory rape - who, as a judge pointed out last week, were being held for violating a law that no longer existed. For their victims, who struggled through torturous legal processes over periods as long as 10 years, that...
