...many acts of government could be performed better on a local level. Neighborhood leaders, for example, would know better than city hall when to patrol the streets and how to clean them, how to maintain the parks and collect the garbage. The flourishing block associations in the city are a modest revival of local self-government. A portion of the city labor force might be dispatched to work in the neighborhoods. One employee could serve as a captain to coordinate activities for a five-block area and stimulate volunteer work. With a limited power of the purse, communities could choose...
...SYSTEM could also achieve attractive results in the much neglected area of departmental reform. Imagine housing History majors in the eastern end of Canaday Hall where they could maintain constant pressure on senior faculty in the department. Had this been done before, the widely detested departmental requirements in History might have fallen years ago as the Bastille did centuries before; but the department's isolation in an obscure corner of the Yard has made reform as unlikely as spontaneous and surprise attack by Parisian mobs on Versailles...
...unlike New Orleans, Houston, or even Princeton University, Harvard did not succumb to superdome mania. The designs call for small, stately new buildings that maintain the character of the senior building in the area--Dillon Field House.

Some liberal Democrats feel that merely extending current tax cuts will not be enough to maintain annual production growth at the desired level of 7% to 8%; they are calling for $8 billion to $10 billion a year more in cuts. Ford probably would not go along with that, unless Congress also agreed to sharp spending cuts in an election year-an unlikely prospect. In the end, the solution may well involve extension of this year's cuts with no offsetting action on federal...
