Down the road, expect a C2 and, for the deep-pocketed collector, limited-edition watches that will cost from...
...Harvard students come from families with median incomes in the six figures, according to the admissions office, which contrasts to $27,133—and a 27.1 percent poverty level—in Roxbury—where MHASP operates.
