Sister Loretta Monahan, another spokesman for Hard Times, said after the meeting that the CRA plan represented a gradual "piecemeal" takeover of Kendall Square by business and white-collar interests. "If we didn't organize and get the people here, the City Council would have passed the resolution," she said. "We don't trust them...
Russo, 36, testified first. A balding, horn-rimmed aeronautics engineer, he explained that, when he was first in Viet Nam as a Rand Corp. researcher, he had believed Viet Cong cadre to be "in doctrinated fanatics."

But many scholars argue plausibly that ethnic differences do not so much foreclose the future as point the way to it. Swiss Philosopher Denis de Rougement looks for a gradual emergence of new "communities of mutual interests" that transcend established frontiers. One such community might be the region bounded by Lyons and Grenoble in France and Geneva and Lausanne in Switzerland-four cities already united by proximity, language (French) and common commercial interests.
