...space could be used for beauty, instead of for a specific function. A lot of Cambridge people haven't seen the World Tree, tucked away where it is in the Graduate Center, and we can't think of a better place for it than in the Square. But the ideal solution would be to make a giant rotary out of the whole area. With a challenge like that--Mystic River Bridge signs at three of the six or so exits--even the police wouldn't have time to loiter, and the present city government would almost certainly be re-elected...
Richard Herrick, 23, a former coast guardsman of Northboro, Mass., had suffered a breakdown of kidney function (because of chronic inflammation) when he was admitted to Peter Bent Brigham Hospital a year ago.

They closed the wound (another hour), and soon the kidney excreted a pint of urine. At week's end both Richard and Ronald were doing well...

It still reeked from the scandals of power abused, and the base of its power was gone. New York, like many another American city, had once been a teeming jungle of half-broken Old World cultures, uprooted, insecure, warring, misunderstanding each other and the new world around them. After its fashion, Tammany mediated conflicts, spoke for the immigrant masses. The Statue of Liberty said, "Give me your tired, your poor," but it was Tammany that really opened palpable arms of help...
