...Following the controversial land purchases in Allston, revealed in 1997, Boston’s Mayor Thomas M. Menino asked Harvard to fund a neighborhood planning process that would coordinate the University’s plans for the approximately 100 acres then in their possession with community needs...

Thomas Friedman, no hothead, wrote a column offering "three cheers for Mayor Rudy Giuliani" for stiffing the prince. At the time, I was cheering too. But there is a difference between what is appropriate for a mayor and for a President. "I don't forget" is not a sufficiently flexible foreign policy doctrine. The next President is going to have...
