...that Harvard recived tax abatements and did not inform the Rent Control Board about them; hence, they were not passed along to the tenants. HTU organizers claim that the abatements total nearly $500,000; Silverman says that the Rent Board was fully notified of the abatements and that subsequent rent increases were smaller because of them...
Perhaps the greatest recent example of absurd University intransigience was its refusal last month to adopt a code explicitly promising not to discriminate against gay students. The Faculty Council was unable to find evidence of discrimination. What the Council did do was inform a large--and repeatedly harrassed--segment of the University population that the administration is unconcerned about their situation. In much the same way, Harvard has not taken the concrete steps it should to begin to solve the problems of race relations on campus...
...long time now, the chief ceremonial function of Memorial Day has been simply to inform Americans that their summer has begun. Of course, residual touches of drum-thumping Americana still cling to the occasion-men in deep middle age parading up and down the holiday, strutting the flag.

In two unanimous rulings last week, however, the court not only...
...father's arrest for advocating the observance of human rights in Vietnam, and his subsequent death of starvation. One member of the delegation wished to let me know that he "admired my father very much" and was "very sad that he had died." However, he wished to inform me that rumors that my father had died of starvation were a pack of lies, it had been a mere natural illness. He did not take up my offer to read to him my mother's letters written over two and a half years. Must I believe she lied...
