...hope the expansion of the University into Allston and Watertown will lead to the departure of many administrative officers and a school from the Cambridge campus. We shall soon see if the President and deans make the right choices by allowing the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to dramatically expand in Cambridge.

Within days of the Republican gains of last November's elections, the Administration stepped up what critics view as an all-out assault on the environment with a series of pronouncements: that snowmobiles could operate in Yellowstone National Park, oil drilling could expand in Padre Island National Seashore in Texas, the National Marine Fisheries Service would ease salmon protections in the Pacific Northwest, and Washington would soften rules on logging and energy conservation.

...better news go to Italy, where government optimism is in overdrive. Officials there have predicted growth of 2.3% this year - although financial analysts expect the number to be closer to 1.4%. And in France, economists are equally skeptical of Finance Minister Francis Mer's prediction that the economy will expand 2.5% in 2003. They think it is more likely to average just over 1.5%, with some predictions as low as .9%. The natural reaction of any government faced with such stagnation: kick start the economy by cutting taxes and maintaining public spending. Trouble is, euro-zone governments are hobbled...
