...waterfront could only have been from an elegant carriage on the sloping road above. The work shows an afternoon hazyhot, captured forever beneath a coat of varnish, fresh sea air sealed in with this sketch of an age one imagines in likewise indefinite terms. Binet was very fond of flowers and there are several rather innocuous but decorative paintings of poppies, roses or a flowering tree over a stream. And yet one begins to wonder about this artist while looking at "Saint Mandrier," a view of boats moored at a dock. Painted in 1943, it is almost identical technically...
...Providence around noon, so I'll meet you at the corner where the kid sells Ivy League pennants. This should really bring back some fond memories, because remember how many times Dad used to drag me to Brown to see football games on Saturday afternoons. You know what, I don't think Brown ever won. And you know what else. I would have much preferred to stay home and play touch football in Buttonwood Park than see Brown-Lafayette games in Providence...
...worldly upperclassmen and proctors, was in vogue. The memory of how city police helped the University administration teach student demonstrators a lesson during the 1969 strike was still painfully fresh. So were recollections of how the Harvard police, who had intentionally kept a low profile in 1969, were fond of going easy on students, often handing out fatherly lectures when summonses, or even worse, were in order.

The "new look" has sharply reduced the University's campus crime rate, Joe B. Wyatt, vice president for administration, is fond of saying. Unfortunately, the change has also touched off a sharp debate within the department, a conflict between old and new that threatens to divide the force permanently. Old soldiers never die, they say, and the old-timers on the Harvard force, who remember best the days before...
Although the group has not articulated the formula it used to derive the $4 million total, it is clear that some payment above the current level may be in order. University officials are fond of saying that a large part of the $2 million Harvard pays now is "voluntary," but such claims represent mere semantic distinctions. Of the three projects on which officials say Harvard makes some payment to the city, one is a housing project financed by Citicorp and therefore not legally tax-exempt. Another is a housing project on which Harvard agreed to make in-lieu...
