Harvard Square looks like an upscale shopping mall now—Urban on the left, Gap on the right—and it keeps the hours of an upscale mall as well. Most stores close by 8 p.m., most restaurants by 11 p.m. You can’t rent a video at midnight, even on the weekend.

Technology titan Sun Microsystems sold server hardware on the site with million-dollar starting prices. Yet despite such big-league partnerships, it's still the little guy that counts.

And two Albanians were shot this morning by police at a checkpoint in Tetovo. Apparently there's videotape of one of the men, in civilian clothing, throwing a grenade at policemen. That tape may be very important, because unless the government can show that there was a grenade, the incident may spread alarm in the Albanian community. Also, it could put more strain on the main Albanian party in the government, which...
