After more than a year of debate over community benefits, Harvard and the city of Boston finally signed the cooperation agreement that will allow them to break ground on a four-building science complex, the first piece of the University’s expansion into Allston. The agreement, which outlines how Harvard will spend nearly $25 million on benefits to the neighborhood, is a legally-binding document. Some of the benefits the University will provide the neighborhood with over the next decade include an education center, public realm improvements, and workforce development programs. Several months have passed since Harvard issued...

...raucous London and Paris legs appear to have surprised Chinese officials. French popular concern over human rights conditions in China took root only following the brutal suppression of unrest in Tibet last month. Images of that violence prepared the ground for groups like Reporters Without Frontiers, which have called on the French government to use the Beijing Games as a lever to pressure China to increase civil liberties and press freedom. It was in the wake of that spreading disquiet in France that President Nicolas Sarkozy became the first Western leader to suggest he might consider a boycott...
