...groups. The Fund, which aims to foster neighborhood improvement, cultural enrichment, and educational programs in Allston, is part of the Allston Science Complex Cooperation Agreement. The agreement, signed in April of last year, stipulated that Harvard provide $25 million worth of community benefits to the neighborhood in order to proceed with construction of the complex. Kevin A. McCluskey ’76, Harvard’s director of community relations for Boston, said that the University looks forward to adding “this very positive element of our relationship to the work that we do with the neighborhood...

Admitting that we aren't certain exactly how to proceed is liberating, and key. Hyperbolic rants and rigid talking points, in either Limbaughian or Olbermannian flavors, now seem worse than useless, artifacts of a bumptious barroom...
