The Harvard Square Clergy Association is organizing a group of churches to ring their bells 350 times at 3:50 p.m. today—the 350th day of the year—in order to raise awareness for Project 350, an environmental activism movement that aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to the “sustainable level” of 350 parts per million.

Except for one pungent confrontation...
...oversaw one of the most bald political plays under the Mayor - the 2003 wrecking of Meigs Field, a lakefront VIP and recreational airport that Daley, in the dark of night, ordered bulldozed to make way for a huge park. And Harris helped shepherd the O'Hare International Airport expansion project, a controversial move to grow one of the world's busiest airports that put Daley at odds with suburban mayors and others...
