Significantly, neither computers nor autos are manufactured in the city. Not the least of the obstacles to economic expansion is a critical shortage of workers. West Berlin's labor problem became acute when the Ulbricht government put up the Wall in 1961, thus depriving the city's Western sector of its 60,000 East German workers. Native labor, meanwhile, is difficult to keep at home, since the average hourly wage ($1.25) runs some 10% below...

THERE WERE exceptions. Some Ed School groups formed on-going alliances with community organizations--both Exodus and the New School had Ed School help. But successes like these only whetted Roxbury's appetite, taunting it with missed opportunities. As the Boston ghetto turned to the Ed School it found Harvard visible but aloof...
