Despite the promising start, considering compromise is a long way from taking action, and two apartment buildings are far from the only battlefields in the city's fight with Harvard. The pattern of consultation and compromise needs to be made a regular policy and to be used in every matter that affects both Harvard and Cambridge...

The forces of evil differed from country to country, but the American response remained constant. Whenever American vision of how a nation ought to function was challenged, the U.S. responded with generally anti-democratic, repressive attempts to alter popular movements seeking to influence the political life on their own lands...
