More than 50 people met in Cambridge last night to discuss the future of Harvard Square, expressing nostalgia for the Square of the 1960s and a desire for reinvigoration of unique local businesses. During the two-hour meeting, held in Christ Church, local business owners analyzed the retail store makeup and covered issues ranging from rents to parking to Harvard Square’s public image. Arranged by City Councillor Brian Murphy, the meeting was intended to compile a list of the needs and desires of business owners.

...idiocy doesn't interest me. The state is rebuilding its repressive machinery, and we are discussing Lenin's body." Yet the debate also is a window on changing attitudes among the ruling élite. Since Putin came to power, a new ideology has been taking shape that blends imperial nostalgia with the occasional careful nod to the Soviet Union's greatness under Stalin. These days the Kremlin honor guard wears 1812-era uniforms, and attending Orthodox church services is a good career move. Even the Stalin-era national anthem is back. Lenin, a ruthless but austere revolutionary, an enemy...
