...easy to dismiss the movement. The Obama-as-Hitler metaphors don’t elicit respect. Signs heralding “Beck-Palin ’12” are enough to make one forswear even drinking tea. Nevertheless, it is not just these tactics that those in the mainstream decry. It is the supposed ignorance of the Tea Partiers. They don’t understand the legislation, some say. They don’t realize what’s good for them, others argue. They are misinformed, they are the product of Fox News, they have a terrible misreading...

...occupy it. This sort of “surgical intervention” as James W. Gray, associate vice president of HRES, termed it could not simply be left up to other landlords. Although HRES has declared that it would not employ these methods in the future, rather than forswear the tactics it employed to install the Market in the Square, they should consider that they may be required again. As the Square becomes ever-more corporatized, such “surgical” methods may again become necessary to attract businesses that fill a hole created by skyrocketing rents. Harvard...
