...Reyes. Earlier this year, the town put up 130 houses to purchase and received 3,500 applications; when it offered 118 units up at subsidized rental rates but without an option to buy, only 600 families expressed an interest. "We're growing, but we have feet of clay," Holguera says. Yet anyone betting against the Spaniards' ability to change hasn't digested just how radically, even joyously, they've embraced it in recent years. Putting a basically healthy economy onto a better long-term footing is an enviable task. Spain is better suited than most of its neighbors to make...
...itself. One journalist presses some workshop attendees on the apparent disconnect between the online bomb-throwers and the chatty, eager conference-goers. A woman explains that one would never attack someone in person the way you can online: "It's the difference between bombing someone from 50,000 feet and sticking a bayonet between their eyes."

There are too many other decisions that show the other side of Harvard’s heritage. Though it has eschewed participation in a DNA company, Harvard continues, for example, to maintain a real estate firm which, in its dealings with its tenants and the city, uses none...
...still remember walking through the big green door at the end of Mass. Hall, my stomach in my throat and my hands somewhat fidgety as I nervously awaited his arrival. The next thing I knew, I was trailing the most powerful man at the University, who seemed 10 feet tall, to go out to lunch.But Larry broke the thick ice with ease. Instead of interrogating me about my academic credentials, as I had expected he would, we spent the first 15 minutes chatting about our families. He told me about his daughters and son, whom he had promised the biggest...
