...between the campus, the community and the river” as a main priority of the Allston project. In a separate report published in the same month, Cooper, Robertson & Partners, the planning firm commissioned by Harvard to form preliminary plans for Allston development, suggested the “partial depression of Soldiers Field Road” as a “long-term” solution to the parkway’s obstruction of pan-Charles connectivity. Construction of the Allston campus should progress with all due speed. The Allston planning team has already outlined many exciting projects and ideas...
...received a similar vote of confidence, with Donato sending him onto the ice for the second consecutive game. While Richter started Saturday night’s game against Princeton, he was pulled in favor of Tobe in the second period after surrendering the game-winning goal. After making a partial save on a Princeton shot, Richter appeared to lose sight of the puck as it trickled through his legs and across the goal line, prompting Donato to make a substitution.

He even issued a second version of the speech to reflect those sentiments...
...sensible approach that got distorted into a parody of itself. The reform standards, for instance, called for teaching the uses of a calculator and estimation, but some educators took that as a license to stop drilling the multiplication tables, skip past long division and give lots of partial credit for wrong answers. "Some of the textbooks and materials were absolutely hideous," says R. James Milgram, a professor of mathematics at Stanford...
