...regular post office. This fast-growing industry now consists of several thousand shops across the U.S., some of them members of private "post-office" chains. Typically, these stores accept packages for customers at locations that are more convenient than the outlets of traditional shipping companies like the United Parcel Service. And unlike U.P.S., the private post offices often sell stamps, rent P.O. boxes and even help customers wrap packages...
Protest thus far has been limited so that only the most offensive advertisements have been removed.

Bok himself brushed off the unique plan to convert this property into some sort of mixed-income housing complex with local, state and federal funding. Ironically, the St. Paul's parking lot stands in the midst of a neighborhood in which Harvard has destroyed more than 70 homes in the last 40 years to make way for dormitories...
