...class of Oscar Handlin's that turned out to deal with the innovative power of American cities around the turn of the century. I searched Professor Handlin's lecture for veiled references to the strike and found not a one. But at its finish, laying down his notes, the good professor waxed grim and offered a brief prayer that Harvard might have returned to normalcy by his course's next meeting...
Somewhere along the line I paid my tutor a visit, and found him incredibly depressed. His politics, I had long realized, were not mine--but he was a good guy and he was together and damn smart. And I found him calling radical "criminals" and talking about a wave of "anti-intellectualism" sweeping the University.

Though the City government is now taking a new housing census, for the moment planners must use a lot of guesswork to figure out in what sections of the City and for what groups the housing shortage is most critical. Which would do the most good--50 units of housing for the elderly near Central Square or a similar number for younger families in East Cambridge? With the data currently available, it's difficult to tell...
