Current trends seem to be hastening the demise of these communities. The Inner Belt, for example, will take a heavy toll in some areas. It will also have a big impact on low-income families: preliminary figures from the Cambridge Planning oBard show that 58 per cent of the families in the path of the highway earn under $6000 a year while about half of the single persons living along the route have an annual income of less than $3000. The forces of the housing market seem to be having a similar effect--pushing the poor out of their neighborhood...
What will Cambridge be like in 10 or 15 years? The statistics can't tell the story. Much depends on how individual decisions are made and then implemented--the disposition of the city dump land, for example, could have a lasting impact on Cambridge's politics. It is already clear that the formal and informal role sof the universities are growing larger, if for no other reasons that the rise in the number of employees they hire and the number of students and faculty members they bring to the city. With the NASA complex and the Kennedy Library, are these...
...city that took a parochial sort of pride in its "Never-say-Die" newspaper publishers has clear evidence that the impact of radio-TV and high production costs are overtaking tradition in the management of its newspapers. This does not necessarily mean that other papers may soon fold. Wags about town are pointing out, however, that the Record-American has made public no plans for a new printing plant although its current plant, a Victorian monstrosity, is slated for destruction in an urban renewal project...
Whatever Brewster's next career choice, his advice to incoming Yale freshmen last fall will undoubtedly be his own guide as well. "The fullness or emptiness of life will be measured by the extent to which a man feels that he has an impact on the lives of others. To be a man is to matter to someone outside yourself, or to some calling or cause bigger than yourself." At the moment, that cause for Brewster is still Yale-and he has mattered much in bringing Yale into a more relevant concern with contemporary issues...
...June 19, 1968 the asteroid Icarus, which is nearly a mile in diameter, will crash into the mid-Atlantic, 2,000 miles east of Florida. Its impact - the equivalent of a 500,000-megaton bomb blast - will splash out some 1,000 cubic miles of sea water and form a crater 15 miles across in the ocean floor. Tidal waves 100 ft. high will sweep across coastal cities on both sides of the ocean, and earthquakes 100 times worse than any ever recorded will be felt all over the world. Clearly, Icarus must be stopped. No expense will be spared...
