Harvard officials privately attribute much of the fuss to politics, but for them the situation may get nastier before it gets better. The council this summer approved in principle strict limitations on institutional expansion, and if current alignments are unchanged by the election, the ordinance will surely pass soon.

Although only one man-up tally was managed by the Crimson, you can't help but get the feeling that the Harvard power-play will be more goal-hungry and much nastier than the dyslexia we were treated to at times last year...
